Hair: for Silvio I hate and love

From the head, in fact: let’s start right from his relationship with the canopy to draw a portrait of it in beauty. Silvio Berlusconi suffered from androgenetic alopecia, an evolutionary and unstoppable condition that leads to the gradual loss of large portions of hair. In fact, he had a history of love and hate with them, trying to counteract his baldness over time, and in every way.

Equipped as a young man with normal thick hair, it was between the 70s and 90s (when his climb to success began) that something changed. First as a building contractor and then as king of television, Berlusconi shows himself in public with baldness problems increasingly important. Front line pulled back, hair left a bit long to cover more, indications of coloring of the scalp.

With his entry into politics, in the early 1990s, baldness progressed more and more: on the threshold of sixty, Silvio was decidedly bald.

The turning point came in 2004 in Sardinia: he often wears a bandana which, once placed in the drawers, again shows signs of hair. And clearly of a transplant.

We know that Berlusconi has also made use of over time dyes and keratin fibers to further increase the thickening effect. Although it is clear that for him, who could not have known the effects that Regenerative Medicine will then have in the treatment of baldness, the aesthetic result has always appeared a bit false.

Made up was always made up, but sometimes of strokes of powder and greasepaint on the face it has given a little too much. On important occasions, when he shot his own videos, he used to use an 8 denier sock spread over the camera to have an anti-wrinkle effect.

A few years ago, in 2017, it achieved its purpose: it appeared very relaxed and definitely rejuvenated, after undergoing treatments at Henry Chenot’s beauty farm, guru of the detox diet. In the wellness center of Merano, in Trentino Alto Adige, the former premier had allowed himself a real one beauty vacation. The place is, in fact, an excellence that offers preventive and specific programs aimed at energy recovery, cell regeneration, weight loss and rejuvenation, according to an integrated medical-scientific approach.

That the name of Silvio Berlusconi will also remain linked to a certain aesthetic conception it is established. Moreover, by the foreign press it was often compared to the adjective «flamboyant» flamboyant. In fact, even in the beauty sector it cannot be said that she has not left her mark.
