  • Patent number: 11980279
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for determining a user-specific hair treatment with determination and inclusion of the state of the hair. To this end, the content of at least one hair constituent is firstly determined with the aid of near-infrared and/or infrared and/or VIS and/or Raman spectra of the hair of an individual and a hair state is derived via a calibration model. Individual treatment advice is output on the basis of the determined hair state.
