Abstract
In various embodiments, a method of providing a hair treatment agent is provided. The method can have a detecting of at least one sensor value on hair of a user by employing at least one portable sensor, a determining of a hair condition of the user by employing the detected at least one sensor value, a computer-assisted determining of a user-specific hair treatment agent including the determined hair condition, and a preparing of the determined user-specific hair treatment agent by employing a hair treatment agent mixing device.
Claims13
A device for providing a hair treatment agent, comprising:
- a portable sensor device having at least one sensor for capturing a reflected light from a hair of a user;
- a memory for storing a relationship between a cysteic acid content value and a measure of light absorption intensity, wherein the relationship is determined in response to a plurality of light absorption measurements made on a plurality of hair samples having a known cysteic acid content;
- a data processing device for determining a light absorption intensity of the hair of the user in response to the reflected light, estimating a cysteic acid content of the hair of the user in response to the light absorption intensity and the relationship between the cysteic acid content value and the measure of light absorption intensity, and for determining of a user-specific hair treatment agent using the cysteic acid content;
- and
- a hair treatment agent mixer configured to prepare the user-specific hair treatment agent wherein the user-specific hair treatment agent is one of a hair care agent, a hair coloring agent and a hair styling agent.
A method of providing a hair treatment agent comprising:
- capturing a reflected light from a hair of a user by employing a sensor device having at least one portable sensor wherein the at least one portable sensor includes at least one optical sensor;
- determining a light absorption intensity of the hair of the user in response to the reflected light and estimating a cysteic acid content of the hair of the user in response to the light absorption intensity, wherein the cysteic acid content is estimated in response to a stored relationship between a cysteic acid content value and a measure of light absorption intensity, wherein the relationship is determined in response to a plurality of light absorption measurements made on a plurality of hair samples having a known cysteic acid content;
- computer-assisted determining a user-specific hair treatment agent in response to the cysteic acid content, wherein the user-specific treatment agent includes at least one of a hair coloring agent, a hair care agent and a hair styling agent;
- and
- preparing the user-specific hair treatment agent.
A device for providing a hair treatment agent, comprising:
- a portable sensor device having at least one optical sensor for capturing a reflected light from a hair of a user and a microphone for determining a surface roughness of the hair;
- a memory for storing a relationship between a cysteic acid content value and a measure of light absorption intensity, wherein the relationship is determined in response to a plurality of light absorption measurements made on a plurality of hair samples having a known cysteic acid content;
- a data processing device for determining a light absorption intensity of the hair of the user in response to the reflected light, estimating a cysteic acid content of the hair of the user in response to the light absorption intensity and the relationship between the cysteic acid content value and the measure of light absorption intensity, and for determining of a user-specific hair treatment agent in response to the cysteic acid content;
- and
- a hair treatment agent mixer configured to prepare the user-specific hair treatment agent, wherein the user-specific hair treatment agent is one of a hair care agent, a hair coloring agent and/or a hair styling agent.
