The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for analyzing hair and/or predicting an outcome of hair-coloring treatment. disclosed is method of predicting a result of a hair-color-modifying treatment on a sample of hair, the method comprising: a. for each given region of a plurality of distinct regions, respectively measuring a region-specific spectrum of respective material of the hair-sample respectively disposed within the given region; and b. computing first and second predicted post-treatment spectra respectively from first and second initial spectra by respectively predicting a transformation of the first and second initial spectra following subjecting the sample of hair to the hair-color-modifying treatment, the first and second initial spectra being distinct and (i) derived from the plurality of measured region-specific spectra and/or (ii) corresponding to first and second of the measured region-specific spectra.

Apparatus and method for analyzing hair and/or predicting an outcome of a hair-coloring treatment

A system for optically acquiring data from hair comprises a hair-holder including: upper and lower plate assemblies respectively having downward-facing and upward-facing opposing surfaces defining a gap therebetween, the lower plate assembly having a window-void therein, the upper plate assembly further comprising a sideward-facing sample-thickness-regulating surface above the gap; and an alignment-wall mechanically coupled to both plate assemblies and having a side-facing alignment surface within gap or sideward-facing into the gap, the alignment surface being straight along a longitudinal direction parallel to both of the opposing surfaces, the hair-holder being configured so that: when an externally-tensioned sample of hair is loaded onto the hair-holder by laterally moving the sample towards the alignment surface, a presence of the sideward-facing sample-thickness-regulating surface regulates an amount of hair permitted to enter the gap, thereby regulating a thickness of hair above the window-void to at least 0.5 mm and at most 2 mm, and after the loading and after release of the external tension, static friction applied by the side-facing alignment surface upon shafts of the hair sample maintain alignment of hair above the window-void.
