Is severe stress a cause of hair loss?
Hair loss due to severe stress (Telogen Effluvium) is a reversible phenomenon and hair regrows a few months after hair loss manifestation.
What is the mechanism of action that leads to hair loss?
Hair follicles on the front and top of the scalp are susceptible to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), derivative of testosterone. Testosterone, due to the action of the enzyme 5-a reductase is converted into DHT, which acts on the hair follicles receptors. The prolonged action of DHT on the susceptible hair follicles leads to their gradual miniaturization and shrinking.
As a result, some of the hair follicles become inactive while others loose their ability to produce healthy hair; hair gradually becomes weaker and finally falls out.
The mechanism described above helps us realize what really happens when someone experiences hair loss for the first time: Progressive reduction in hair density is due to hair miniaturization rather than hair loss and this leads to the appearance of thinning.
More simply, we could say that DHT΄s action shortens the Anagen Phase-the period of hair growth. As a consequence, a great percentage of hair stops growing and enters the Telogen Phase, weakens and finally is shed.

What are hair follicles?
Each hair follicle has a genetic predisposition. Single hair follicles are distributed along the frontal hairline and as we move toward the back part of the scalp, hair follicles constitute groups of 2, 3 or even 4 hairs.
What is donor area?
During hair transplantation procedures, doctors extract hair follicles from the donor area and reimplant them to the thinning areas of the scalp.
The transplanted hair follicles preserve their genetic resistance to androgens even in the thinning area, where they continue to grow normally throughout one΄s life time.
BERGMANN KORD doctors extract and reimplant hair follicles only from the scalp. Hair transplantation cannot provide natural and refined aesthetic results if performed with hair follicles from other parts of the body.

Enviroment
Polluted
environment, such as urban environment, demands further haircare:
frequent shampooing and protection from the damaging factors.
Appropriate Care
Shampoo, conditioner and mask must be selected according to the standards and needs of our hair type.
Coiffure & Hairstyling
We should limit chemical hair styling techniques as well as tight and frequent binding.
Sea and Sun
Exposure
to UV rays should be avoided, especially during summer. We should use
the appropriate protective products that shield hair from harmful
effects.
Contact with sea or chlorinated water dehydrates hair,
depriving it of its shine and vitality. If you have tired hair after
vacations, don΄t hesitate to ask our advice on how to reconstruct and
rebuild your hair effectively and promptly. With no further obligation,
our experts will give you individualized tips for the revitalization and
strengthening of your hair.
What is the proper way of hair washing?
• Daily hair washing needs the appropriate mild shampoo.
• We shouldn΄t use very hot water during hair washing. We should use small quantities of shampoo, conditioner or mask.
• During hair washing, we massage gently the scalp with our fingertips. Intense friction should be avoided.
• Massage is more beneficial for people experiencing hair loss, as it stimulates microcirculation on scalp.
•
Conditioner is necessary for medium length hair and long hair,
especially dehydrated and dried ones. It hydrates the upper layers of
the shaft and leaves hair smooth and easy to brush. But it should be
applied only to the ¾ of hair length in order not to aggravate oiliness.
• Same goes for hair masks, which deeply hydrate hair and,
depending on their ingredients, they reconstruct, rebuild, protect
color, nourish etc, as they develop penetrating action.
• For more shine, cold water can be used at the last rinse
• At the end we gently wipe hair with a towel.
•
Attention is required when using a hair dryer. It should be kept at
least 8 inches away from hair, and operate at medium temperature. We
should not dry hair completely, only the areas that need styling.
• To provide the desired styling, we make gentle movements with the brush.
• Colored or highlighted hair requires further specialized care.
