The present invention is directed to a method of detecting stray fibers emanating from a substrate comprising: a) Taking an image or a series of consecutive images of stray fibers in front of a contrasted background, that is created using one or more light sources, using a digital device; b) Segmenting of stray fibers and background from objects not directly contrasted against the background resulting in a binary image mask; c) Applying an edge detection technique to the image or modification of original image to enhance contrast of stray fibers against the background; and Applying the binary image mask from step b) to an image created in step c) to create an image in which only the stray fibers and/or outline of any other object contrasted against the background are present.

Imaging method for determining stray fibers

The present invention is directed to a hair styling device for providing lift to a mass of undifferentiated hair stands on a scalp region comprising: a bundling means for gathering hair strands into hair bundles; a reservoir, in fluid communication with the bundling means, comprising a styling composition; and a means to hold and further align the hair strands along and beyond the bundling means.

Device for achieving lift and volume to hair

The present invention relates to leave-on hair styling compositions comprising from greater than 0.5% to about 5% of a water soluble, non-polymeric mineral salt, from about 0.05% to about 0.5% of a lipophilic material, from about 0.01% to about 0.5% of a surfactant, and an aqueous carrier. The surfactant is selected from the group consisting of amphoteric surfactants, anionic surfactants, and nonionic surfactants having the formula
