Abstract: A shape card for self-assessment of a shape of a hair includes a first part, a second part, and a third part. The first part includes one or more first reference markers for assessing a number of hair waves. The second part includes one or more second reference markers for assessing hair curvature. The third part includes one or more descriptors each describing a target hair shape. The target hair shape is a result of a combination of one of the one or more first reference markers and one of the one or more second reference markers.

Abstract: A method of measuring indications of hair type of a user, the method comprising the steps of: providing a mobile device; providing a reference card, the reference card including one or more reference markers; providing one or more of the user's hairs at the 5 surface of the reference card; acquiring one or more images of said one or more hairs using the mobile device; identifying the path of each of the one or more hairs along the reference card; and calculating the curve of each hair from its identified path.

Abstract: A method of analysing at least one hair surface using a 3D printer includes collecting a first imaging data for the at least one hair surface; applying at least one treatment to the at least one hair surface, the at least one treatment including at least one benefit agent; collecting a second imaging data for the at least one hair surface after applying the at least one treatment; converting the first imaging data into a first formatted data, the first formatted data associated with the 3D printer; converting the second imaging data into a second formatted data, the second formatted data associated with the 3D printer; producing a first 3D model of the at least one hair surface from the 3D printer using the first formatted data; and producing a second 3D model of the at least one hair surface from the 3D printer using the second formatted data.

Abstract: A method of analysing the effect of an assault on hair, comprising the steps of: (i) collecting imaging data for at least one hair surface, (ii) applying at least one assault to the at least one hair surface, (iii) collecting imaging data for the at least one hair surface arising from step (ii), (iv) converting the imaging data collected at steps (i) and (iii) into a format to create magnified images from a 3D printer, (v) producing magnified 3D models of the at least one hair surface from a 3D printer using the data from step (iv), (vi) comparing the 3D model arising from step (iii) to the 3D model of step (i) and (vii) assessing the degree of damage to the hair.

Abstract: A method of analysing the effect and deposition of remedial and beneficial treatments on hair, comprising the steps of: (i) collecting imaging data for at least one hair surface, (ii) applying at least one treatment, comprising at least one benefit agent, to the hair surface, to deposit the benefit agent onto the hair surface, (iii) collecting imaging data for the hair surface arising from step (ii), (iv) converting the imaging data collected at steps (i) and (iii) into a format to create magnified images from a 3D printer, 10 (v) producing magnified 3D models of the hair surface from a 3D printer using the data from step iv, (vi) comparing the 3D model arising from step (iii) to the 3D model arising from step (i), (vii) analyzing the deposition behavior of the benefit agent, (viii) analyzing any consumer perceivable effect resulting from step (ii), and (ix) correlating the analysis of step (vii) to the analysis of step (viii).

Abstract: Anhydrous antiperspirant compositions comprising particulate antiperspirant active; capsules comprising a shear-sensitive shell which encapsulates perfume; and a carrier for the particulate antiperspirant active and capsules; wherein the capsules have a shell of cross-linked gelatin coacervate having a thickness of from 0.25 to 9 ?m and providing from 10 to 40% by weight of the capsules, a volume average particle diameter of from 25 to 70 ?m, a ratio of shell thickness to the average particle diameter in the range of from 1:5 to 1:120, and a Hysitron hardness in the range of from 1.5 MPa to 50 MPa.

Abstract: Anhydrous antiperspirant compositions containing an encapsulated fragrance, in which the encapsulate shell comprises an aminoplast resin, and preferably a melamine/formaldehyde resin. The encapsulates have a weight average particle diameter in the range of 25 to 60 ?m, a shell having a measured thickness in the range of from 1 to 10 ?m and an average in the range of from 5 to 8 ?m, a ratio of the shell thickness to the average particle diameter in the range of from 1:5 to 1:10 and a Hysitron hardness in the range of from 2 MPa to 50 MPa, particularly 15 to 25 MPa, enabling them do be advantageously employed in the anhydrous antiperspirant compositions.

Abstract: It is desirable for antiperspirant or deodorant roll-on compositions to be able to deliver fragrance over an extended period of time after application, but previously contemplated encapsulates were based on starch or similar water-soluble or dispersible shell materials, rendering them ineffective in aqueous emulsions. Capsules of fragrances in cross-linked coacervated gelatin shells satisfying defined particle size, shell thickness and hardness criteria enable roll-on compositions to be incorporated into aqueous antiperspirant or deodorant compositions encapsulated fragrance that can be released after the composition has been topically applied to skin.
