Abstract
A method for acquiring hair characteristic data includes an image acquiring step and a data acquiring step. The image acquiring step acquires a cross-sectional image of a human hair, in which plural types of fibrous tissues (ortho cell, para cell) constituting cortex cellscontained in the human hairare visualized so as to be distinguishable from each other. The data acquiring step acquires numerical information indicating a distribution state of the visualized plural types of fibrous tissues (ortho cell, para cell) from the cross-sectional image.
