SAMBA HAIR

Shine measurements for claims and research

SAMBA Hair is a unique device to analyze the gloss and shine of hair. It is widely used in the cosmetic industry to substantiate claims and evaluate products efficacy – such as shampoo, conditioners, shine sprays, etc. – on any straight hair.

SAMBA Hair comes as a turn-key system which includes an imaging sensor head, an in-vitro enclosure with a sliding cylinder, as well as a computer with dedicated and user-friendly software. The hair samples are positioned on a cylindrical mount that slides inside the instrument.

The system also allows in-vivo measurements using a rotating arm positioned on the side of the imaging sensor head.
