Haircare appliance

A haircare appliance, comprising:

• a processing element,
• a light emitting element,
• a sensor element, and
• a main body comprising a blower for generating an airflow and the sensor element,
• wherein the main body comprises an attachment region adapted for connecting an accessory,
• wherein the light emitting element is adapted to irradiate hair to be treated,
• wherein the sensor element is adapted to receive a sensor reading from an acquisition region of the irradiated hair and generate a sensor signal dependent on the sensor reading,
• wherein the processing element is adapted to determine a moisture content of at least a portion of the irradiated hair from the sensor signal,
• wherein the determination of the moisture content is further dependent on at least one parameter out of the group consisting of:
• a temperature of the hair, a distance between the haircare appliance and the hair, a hair presence, an environmental condition, an ambient temperature, an ambient air pressure, an ambient light level, a relative humidity, a hair colour, a hair melanin content, humidity, and a user input;
• and
• further comprising:
• an accessory;
• wherein the accessory is attachable to and/or detachable from the main body at the attachment region,
• wherein the accessory, when attached to the main body, is adapted to receive the airflow from the blower, and
• wherein the accessory is adapted to discharge the received airflow towards the hair of a user, and
• wherein the operation of the haircare appliance is adaptable dependent on the sensor reading and/or the determined moisture content, further in particular dependent on the type of accessory attached to the main body.
