MAMBO
hair color assessment and identification (in-vivo and in-vitro)
Professional hair colorists typically compare hair color to a color catalog/database, which is subjective and unreliable. Instead, it is better to use a standardized scientific method, like ).
MAMBO by bossa nova technologies is a hand-held hair color meter that produces reliable and objective results using L*a*b*. Its software determines hair color with significantly higher accuracy than human perception, and it works on hair on a head or in swatches.
To identify hair color, just put MAMBO on the sample you want to analyze. MAMBO immediately presents the closest color match from the available database. Of course, you can easily create a personal database if you need more color options. There is no need to configure MAMBO, as it configures itself automatically to produce the most accurate measurements.
How does MAMBO Hair color meter work?
It is challenging to identify hair color manually because many variables affect the observer’s color perception. For instance:
- variations in the color of the light illuminating the sample;
- the observer’s experience and subjectivity in assessing color;
- the orientation of the light source; and
- the geometry of the sample.
A stable LED illumination and specific geometry via a diffusive sphere provide consistent conditions for reliable color measurements. Also, the MAMBO has a color-calibrated 12-bit camera that supports an objective, high-precision color comparison between the sample hair fibers and the colors in its databases.
To achieve this comparison, the MAMBO hair color meter identifies the database color with the least “color distance” from the sample. Calibration enables the between two colors. This device is ideal for use as a measurement tool for many aspects of hair color, such as degradation.
Where to use:
- MAMBO Hair Color Meter was developed to determine color differences of hair. It’s widely used by dye manufactures, hair swatch producers, hair chart
- Useful tool for the laboratory or the salon
- Can help formulation and color deposition
- Prediction of colors mix
- Creation of color databases and references
- Monitoring of coloration degradation
