After Care 

Regular Cleaning of Hair Tools:

Brushes and combs must be cleaned regularly to avoid contamination and spread of infection.

Silk Materials: A Gentle Choice Silk Durag/Nightcap:

Silk is gentle on the scalp, preventing irritation to AKN. It also acts as a protective layer between your scalp and pillow, containing any discharge during sleep. Remember, regular washing of these items is crucial.

Silk Pillowcase Cover:

This complements the durag/nightcap, providing additional protection and comfort.

Clippers: Safe Self-Grooming

  • Invest in Quality Clippers: Learning to cut your own hair can be empowering and safer. Choose clippers that are sharp and gentle on the scalp.
  • Recommended models include: Andis - D-8, Slim-Line Pro Li Cord/Cordless, Wahl Cordless Super Taper, Wahl Detailer Hair Trimmer Cord/Cordless, Supreme Trimmer - ST5210.
  • Use Fungicide & Virucide for Tools like Barbicide to ensure your grooming tools are hygienically clean.

Diet: The Cornerstone of Treatment

Diet plays a pivotal role in managing AKN. Reducing inflammation through dietary changes can significantly impact the condition.

Dairy & Sugar Alternatives:

  • Milk Alternatives: Choose from soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, coconut milk, hemp milk, and cashew milk.
  • Sugar Alternatives: Opt for healthier options like raw honey, apple nectar, dates, coconut sugar, and agave nectar.

Foods to Avoid:

To reduce inflammation, avoid sugary beverages and fruit juices, refined carbs like white bread and pasta, high-sugar desserts, processed meats and snacks, inflammatory oils like soybean and corn oil, and excessive alcohol.
