Effects of hair sprays on color perception: A hyperspectral imaging approach to shine and chroma on heads

ConclusionsHair sprays are generally employed for hair style hold and weather resistance and considered without effect on hair color. Our approach shows that spray deposited films can affect color perception by altering the microstructure of the hair surface. Thin films deposited on the hair fiber surface can partially fill gaps between cuticles which reduces the cuticle natural angle. This partial erasure results in a angle shift of the shine regions towards the angle of internal reflection, thus decreasing the perceived hair color regions as experienced by a group of consumers.This article is protected by copyright.
