Cuticle
CUTICLEAn outer layer of overlapping scales that regulates water loss and how light reflects off the strand. When these scales lie evenly, hair looks shinier and smoother.
Concerned about shedding and thinning areas? Is your hair falling out, losing density, with sparse areas becoming visible at the front or crown? MARIA Lopez serum, enriched with Procapil, brings care for weak, shedding-prone hair together in one step, so you can give your hair the attention it needs every day.
The key ingredient in the formula for root support and reduced shedding




If your hair is weakening, shedding more than usual or starting to show thinning areas, applying oils and creams to the strands alone is not enough. Maria Lopez serum delivers a topical formula to the scalp with a declared concentration of 3.5% Procapil, a cosmetic ingredient for root care, not a hormone. It was selected to support hair anchoring and care for the area around the follicle. Thanks to the precise dropper and lightweight leave-in texture, the formula reaches the areas that need it directly, instead of remaining only on the hair strands. With regular use, the serum helps support stronger roots, reduce the appearance of excessive shedding and gradually improve the appearance of density. It is a clear, targeted routine for those seeking serious root care, rather than a temporary cosmetic solution that hides the problem.




The dropper places a measured amount directly along the parting, so the serum reaches the scalp surface instead of spreading over the lengths.
Gentle fingertip massage after application helps stimulate local circulation around the follicles.
The Procapil concentration helps support hair anchoring at the root and limit signs of weakness associated with shedding.
A denser, shinier appearance is linked to the hair growth cycle, so it requires consistent use over several weeks.
Apply this serum directly to a clean scalp, section by section, to reach the area where hair actually forms. Only the root can produce a new fibre; the visible hair shaft is keratinised tissue that does not regenerate itself. Gentle massage after application stimulates scalp microcirculation, helping create a better environment around the follicle. With regular use, it supports hair anchoring and helps reduce excessive shedding, as stated on the packaging.

LAB MICROSCOPY · HAIR SHAFT
Microscopic hair cross-section
An outer layer of overlapping scales that regulates water loss and how light reflects off the strand. When these scales lie evenly, hair looks shinier and smoother.
The cortex makes up most of the hair shaft and contains the keratin fibres responsible for strength and elasticity. When weakened, hair appears thin and breaks more easily.
A central channel that may be discontinuous, more visible in coarse hair, contributing to the shaft’s lightness and the distribution of its mass.
A clear guide from 1A to 4C
Hair is grouped into four main patterns: straight, wavy, curly and tightly coiled. Each pattern has three subtypes, labelled A, B and C according to curl diameter and strand density. Knowing your pattern helps you adjust the amount of serum and how you part your hair. Curlier textures need smaller sections so the product reaches the roots directly.
STRAIGHT
WAVY
CURLY
COILY
Note: this classification describes pattern only; thickness, porosity and density are independent factors.
Smooth strands that strongly reflect light, making shedding and reduced density noticeable quickly. Use a small amount on the scalp.
S-shaped waves of varying definition that combine flow and volume and benefit from even distribution at the roots.
Clearly defined curls with ends more prone to dryness. Systematic sectioning makes it easier to reach the scalp.
Tight coils or zigzag patterns with a mechanically fragile structure. Apply in small sections with gentle massage.

In a curly strand, the shaft bends at each curl, partially lifting the cuticle scales at the bends. This leads to faster moisture loss and greater susceptibility to mechanical breakage. Curls also make it harder for products to reach the scalp, so divide the hair into small sections before applying drops of serum directly to the roots.
Part the hair into clear sections so the serum drops reach the scalp rather than the ends.
Use gentle circular movements with your fingertips to stimulate microcirculation without pulling the strands.
Applying to a clean scalp improves formula distribution and helps maintain a consistent routine.
Use daily or three to four times a week, as stated on the packaging.

Apply the serum to a clean, dry or nearly dry scalp before styling.
Make successive partings to expose the scalp in the targeted areas.
Place spaced drops along each parting, focusing on thinning areas or areas affected by shedding.
Massage with your fingertips in circular movements to stimulate microcirculation and distribute the serum evenly.
Leave the product on the scalp without rinsing it off after application.
Results are linked to the natural hair growth cycle, so the effect is assessed after several weeks of regular use rather than after a few days. At first, users generally notice an improved feel on the scalp, greater shine and easier styling. With continued use, the product aims to reduce signs of daily shedding, help hair feel more firmly anchored at the roots and improve the appearance of density. Responses vary from person to person depending on the cause of shedding and the condition of the scalp. If hair loss is severe, sudden or accompanied by skin symptoms, consult a medical specialist without stopping any prescribed treatment.
