Schwarzkopf professional hair analyzer;

The SalonLab device then talks to an app, which comes up with a customized shampoo formula. The hair analyzer is about the size of a phone, and you run it through your hair from root to tip. It contains near-infrared and visible light sensors to measure inner hair quality, moisture level and true hair color. The company said the hair analyzer will work with a variety of hair textures and colors.
