Gloss and Shine of Hair - Samba System
Last updated 2020-04-02 09:01:02
SAMBA Hair is a unique device to analyze the gloss and shine of hair. It is widely used in the cosmetic industry to substantiate claims and evaluate products efficacy – such as shampoo, conditioners, shine sprays, etc. – on any straight hair.
SAMBA Hair comes as a turn-key system which includes an imaging sensor head, an in-vitro enclosure with a sliding cylinder, as well as a computer with dedicated and user-friendly software. The hair samples are positioned on a cylindrical mount that slides inside the instrument.
The system also allows in-vivo measurements using a rotating arm positioned on the side of the imaging sensor head.
3D volume reconstruction and fly-away/frizz analysis.

Hair swatches are not easy to analyze due to their composition from a multitude of individual fibers whose boundaries are not well defined. Light transmission analysis techniques are a solution to analyze hair swatches geometry and have been widely used in the cosmetic industry to address the needs regarding volume measurements and frizz analysis.
BOLERO is an imaging system dedicated to hair swatch 3D volume reconstruction and fly-away/frizz analysis. It is used in the cosmetic industry to substantiate claims and evaluate products efficacy such as conditioners, volumizing shampoo, shine sprays, etc.
BOLERO comes as a turn-key system including hardware and computer with dedicated software. Based on the acquisition of a sequence of contour images of a swatch, BOLERO delivers a 3D model of the hair swatch. The system also simultaneously provides volume measurements as part of the 3D model, including frizz/fly-away analysis.

BOLERO Lite is an imaging system dedicated to quickly and efficiently discriminate fly-away/frizz frizz fibers from the bulk of hair swatches on a 2D image using light transmission variations to evaluate hair density. Its design ensure a portability, efficiency and precision in the measurements for an optimal user experience.

RUMBA has been specifically designed to measure the orientation of hair fibers, and compute straightness and alignment coefficient for product efficiency analysis. It is used in the cosmetic industry for claims and development of product such as straightening irons, conditioners, hair sprays, etc. It works for any type of hair, from straight to curly, from black to blond and white.
RUMBA comes as a turn-key system including the imaging sensor and its controller box, a computer with a dedicated software as well as a lab setup. The measurement can be made on hair tresses or directly on a consumer’s head, thanks to an acquisition time of less than 1 second.
Skin Gloss - SAMBA Face
Last updated 2020-04-02 08:56:14
SAMBA Face system is an instrument dedicated to the measurement of in-vivo skin gloss, directly on the model body (face, arm, etc.). Its purpose in the cosmetic industry is to substantiate claims and evaluate products efficacy such as make-up, foundation, skin care products, on every type of skin.
The SAMBA Face System includes our SAMBA camera, a polarized LED illumination, a chin-rest and computer with our own software, allowing the user to acquire the measurement in one click. A complete analysis (numerical data and images) of the visual characteristics (gloss, color, images, etc.) is delivered in seconds.
In-Vivo Hair Shine Analysis - TANGO
Last updated 2020-04-02 09:00:13
Hair shine is usually measured in a constrained environment. Even our SAMBA Hair System needs a hair sample to be put on a cylindrical geometry to correctly separate the light components, and to ensure that a shine band is visible and that we can compute a luster coefficient.
The TANGO system relies on a different and innovative polarization imaging technique to separate the different components of the light reflected and diffused by hair fibers without having to constrain the fibers in any way. Therefore, the TANGO system enables the analysis of shine in more diverse conditions (specific haircut, ethnic fibers, etc.) than the usual technique.
Hair Color - MAMBO

Professional colorists do not measure hair color in a standardized way – as are L,a,b values and CIELAB references – but usually compare it to a hair color catalogue (database). The MAMBO device has been developed to mimic expert professional colorist. MAMBO is a hand-held sensor that can be used on hair swatches or directly on the model head.
Just place MAMBO on the swatch you want to characterize to automatically identify its color. MAMBO delivers the closest color match in the database already available, or your personal database that you would have entered beforehand. No adjustments are necessary for the operator
