SAMBA Hair
Product Details:
The SAMBA Hair is a unique turn-key solution popularly used for hair shine measurement. The system’s imaging sensor is contained in a head at the top of the machine. For in-vivo applications, this can be separated from the machine. The software is installed in a dedicated computer that comes along with the system.
It is a versatile system which can be used for both in-vitro and in-vivo measurements.
In-vitro hair gloss measurement: For in-vitro tests, it is recommended that they be performed on hair swatches for accurate results. It is commonly used by the R&D and QC departments of companies producing cosmetic products to perform efficacy tests and substantiate their list of claims.
In-vivo hair gloss measurement: For in-vivo tests, the system has a rotating arm on the side of the imaging sensor head. The sensor can be held by the examiner and measurements can made on the human’s head by means of a mini-cylinder attachment.
