A Journey into the Invisible Science of Hair Aging
Why do hair follicles become “sluggish” after age 40, and how can precious ingredients like Fermented Rice Water and Peptides reawaken them?
We often think that hair aging is just a visual issue: a few gray hairs, a little less volume. In reality, what we see in the mirror is just the tip of the iceberg. Beneath the surface of the scalp, microscopic biological changes driven by hormones are taking place.
Understanding these hidden mechanisms is the first step toward effectively counteracting them. Today, we’re taking you “inside” the hair follicle to reveal three scientific insights that explain why the Hermonè 40 line for fine hair caused by hormonal imbalances works.
1. The Mystery of Miniaturization (or Why Hair Becomes Invisible)
Did you know that before falling out, hair often doesn’t die, but “shrinks”? Estrogen hormones act as guardians of the growth phase (anagen). When estrogen levels drop naturally, the follicle becomes less protected and can be influenced by other hormones and enzymes (such as 5-alpha-reductase) that shorten its life cycle. The follicle thus produces hair that is increasingly thin, short, and depigmented—almost like invisible vellus hair. This is why the hair appears less dense.

The Hermonè Solution: Ingredients such as Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 and Oleanolic Acid, found in Hermonè 40-1000 Intensive Anti-Aging Regenerating Serum, work precisely here, inhibiting these enzymes and counteracting miniaturization to keep hair thick and healthy.
2. Loss of Anchorage
Imagine the hair follicle as a plant in the ground. With age, the collagen and proteins that hold the root firmly in the dermis (the connective tissue sheath) break down. The “soil” becomes less compact, and the root slips out more easily. This often-overlooked phenomenon is a common cause of premature hair loss in mature women.

Fun fact: Hermonè 40 Serum uses a biotechnological extract (from Sphingomonas Ferment Extract) that acts as a “bio-anchor,” physically reinforcing the bond between the hair and Scalp. It’s like restoring a solid foundation to a building.
Discover it in the Hair Ritual Regenerating Duo kit, the new MTJ Superior Therapy experience in a ritual for weak hair and hormonal imbalances.
In addition to the Hermonè 40-1000 intensive serum, it includes the Hermonè 40 regenerating anti-aging shampoo in a 200ml size.

3. The Microbiota: The Secret Ecosystem of Your Scalp
There’s a lot of talk about gut flora, but did you know that your Scalp also has its own ecosystem? A healthy scalp has a balanced microbiota. Hormonal imbalances disrupt sebum production and pH levels, throwing this delicate balance off—leading to dryness, itching, or mild dandruff.
-
The key ingredient: this is where Fermented Rice Water comes in. Fermentation isn’t just a trend—it’s a process that creates postbiotics capable of nourishing the “good” bacteria on your Scalp, restoring its natural protective barrier.
The effectiveness of Hermonè 40 is applied biology. By acting on miniaturization, anchoring, and the microbiome, it supports the health of the hair from within.
