Many men notice an increase in hair loss and a decrease in the firmness of their hair when they reach their 30s. In many cases, these changes are not only due to the decline of the hair itself, but also to disturbances in the scalp environment. The scalp, like the skin and other body parts, ages, so it is important to take care of the aging process as early as possible. I am not at the stage of relying on pharmaceutical hair regrowth products, but I am concerned about doing nothing…” We recommend MUJI’s medicated anti-aging essence for such men, and thoroughly explain the appeal of this item that has been creating a buzz on social networking sites!

Why do we start to worry about hair loss and thinning hair in our 30s?30s is the time when the disruption of the hair cycle starts to become visible
As men enter their 30s, more men become aware of hair loss and loss of hair volume. A Cross Marketing survey shows that ” thinning and falling hair” ranks as the third most common physical concern among men in their 30s, maintaining the same ranking in their 40s, and rising to No. 1 in their 50s (see reference ). What this trend means is that the sense of discomfort felt in one’s 30s is shifting to a real problem as one ages. Behind this is the modulation of the hair growth cycle, or the so-called hair cycle. Hair regularly repeats the growth phase, regression phase, and resting phase, but when this cycle is disrupted, the growth phase is shortened and hair tends to fall out without growing thick enough. In addition to changes in the hormonal environment associated with aging, stress, poor blood circulation, and chronic inflammation can cause this disorder to gradually become apparent. 30s is the turning point at which these internal changes begin to show themselves.
When should I start taking measures to prevent hair loss and thinning hair?If you are at all concerned, start now!
It is said that the aging of the scalp begins in one’s thirties (ref. Kao ). However, since the scalp is hidden by hair and difficult to see, it is more difficult to notice signs of aging than the skin, and care tends to be postponed. In the meantime, the aging of the scalp progresses, and by the time hair loss becomes noticeable, it may be ” already too late. Therefore, it is a good idea to start taking countermeasures the moment you become aware of a change. This is because before the hair follicles completely lose their function, there is still room to rebuild by improving the scalp environment. In many cases, especially in the 30s and early 40s, hair follicles still have sufficient potential. Even if you are not at the stage where you are ready to start using pharmaceutical hair regrowth products, it is highly significant to start aging care of the scalp at an early stage. The scalp is like the skin of the face: if it dries out, the barrier function deteriorates, and if blood flow stagnates, the scalp tends to lose its elasticity. A stable scalp environment is essential for the healthy growth of hair follicles.

Contains active ingredients for hair growth to regulate the scalp environment
Focusing on the aging care of the scalp environment The “Plant Fermentation Liquid Medicinal Aging Care Essence” was developed with a focus on aging care of the scalp environment. This is a quasi-drug hair-growth essence, and is positioned differently from minoxidil and finasteride, which are pharmaceutical ingredients approved for hair-growth effects in Japan. The active ingredients are tamasaki azalea alkaloids and glycyrrhizic acid 2K, designed to regulate the scalp environment. Although not as effective as pharmaceuticals in promoting hair growth, it promotes hair growth by reducing inflammation, dryness, and itchiness while maintaining a healthy scalp. The formulation is easy to use, even for sensitive skin, and the relatively mild irritation is also a nice feature. Another feature of this product is that the packaging does not have a strong “hair growth” message. The product does not give the impression that it is a product for preventing thinning hair, and it can be placed on a washstand or dresser without giving the impression that the user is concerned about thinning hair.
