Calibrated optical hair damage metrology: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Subjective hair health assessments lead to incorrect product prescriptions and consumer dissatisfaction. Integrated calibration devices in optical sensors standardize damage quantification to ensure precise treatment matching.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Calibrated optical hair damage metrology?

Subjective hair damage assessment

(7)evidences

Traditional hair health evaluation relies on qualitative visual inspection which lacks repeatability and quantitative precision. Establishing objective metrics for structural and optical decay allows for personalized treatment efficacy and accurate damage benchmarking.

Inconsistent manual hair manipulation

(5)evidences

Imprecise delivery of cosmetic agents leads to uneven hair coverage and suboptimal results. Standardizing application through calibrated systems ensures uniform fiber protection and damage mitigation.

Inaccurate hair color perception

(3)evidences

Inconsistent lighting and lack of reference standards lead to subjective or incorrect assessments of pigment and grayness. Standardizing measurements ensures reproducible diagnostic data for treatment selection.
