Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a two-component hair care agent including, separately from one another, an anhydrous carrier as a first component and, as a second component, an aqueous carrier. The anhydrous carrier includes a branched or unbranched alkane having a chain length of C10 to C30, a branched or unbranched fatty alcohol having a chain length of C8 to C22, an organic acid or an alkalizing agent and a pH sensitive color indicator. The aqueous carrier includes a cationic surfactant comprising an organic radical having a chain length of C12 to C30. In addition, the present disclosure relates to a method for the production of a cosmetic agent in which the first component and the second component are mixed together and the use of the two-component hair care agent for the care of keratinic fibers, in particular human hair.

Abstract: An arrangement for determining a degree of stretching of hair is provided. The arrangement includes a detection unit for detecting hair characteristics and an evaluation unit for evaluating the detected hair characteristics and for determining the degree of elongation of hair based on the detected hair characteristics. The detection unit contains a near-infrared sensor, and is configured to irradiate a hair sample with electromagnetic waves in the infrared range and to detect an absorbance of the hair sample in a wavelength range from about 800 to about 2500 nm. The acquisition unit is configured to generate an absorption spectrum of the hair sample in the wavelength range of from about 800 to about 2500 nm and provide it to the evaluation unit and the evaluation unit is configured to compare the generated absorption spectrum with a calibration model and to determine a degree of elongation of the hair sample.
