The Hair Color – SkinColorCatch test is an instrumental evaluation designed to measure pigmentation and hair tone uniformity using advanced imaging technology.

This test provides objective, quantitative evidence for claims such as “enhances color uniformity,” “improves visual appearance of hair color,” and “delivers consistent color results.”

Purpose of the Test

The goal of this test is to determine whether a hair color product delivers uniform, consistent pigmentation and improves the overall visual appearance of color distribution.

It is particularly relevant for hair dyes, color treatments, and products designed to enhance or maintain hair color appearance.

Methodology

The study is performed as an instrumental imaging test using SkinColorCatch technology, which captures and analyzes pigmentation and tone uniformity through high-resolution imaging.

• Number of volunteers: 5 or 10
• Measurement points: Baseline (T0) and post-application (T1)
• Duration: Defined according to study design
• Evaluation methods: Instrumental imaging and quantitative color analysis
• Number of samples required: 11 finished product samples

Test Procedure

1. Volunteer selection:
   Ten participants representative of the target hair type and color profile are selected.
2. Baseline assessment (T0):
   Initial imaging is performed to document baseline pigmentation and tone distribution.
3. Product application:
   The hair color product is applied according to its intended use.
4. Post-application assessment (T1):
   Imaging is repeated under standardized conditions to capture changes in color and uniformity.
5. Data comparison:
   Before-and-after results are analyzed to determine improvements in pigmentation consistency.

Parameters Evaluated

• Pigmentation levels — quantitative measurement
• Color uniformity — distribution and consistency of tone
• Before/after comparison — statistically supported
• Visual documentation — high-quality imaging results
• Overall improvement in color appearance

Sample Requirements

• Quantity: 6 or 11 finished product samples
• Condition: Unopened, stable, and ready-to-use
• Product types: Hair colorants and products intended to enhance color appearance

Results & Reporting

The laboratory report includes:

• Quantitative data on pigmentation and tone uniformity
• Statistical comparison between baseline and post-application
• High-quality visual documentation
• Interpretation confirming product performance

Why This Test Matters

The Hair Color – SkinColorCatch test provides precise, objective data on how effectively a product improves color uniformity and visual appearance.

It supports claims such as:

• “Improves color uniformity”
• “Delivers consistent color results”
• “Enhances overall color appearance”

This test is essential for product substantiation, performance validation, and marketing support, ensuring that hair color products deliver measurable and visible results.
