In addition to hair testing, we possess the in-house expertise to perform mechanical measurements on synthetic and natural fibres using a range of specialist instrumentation (see synthetic and natural fibre testing section).
Expert Testing Services
In 2017, we established a dedicated Contract Testing laboratory at our UK headquarters to provide global customers with a wide range of instrumental hair testing services. In 2023, we relocated to larger premises, enabling the expansion of our testing capabilities to support a broader range of claims. Our dedicated Applications team conducts the studies using the latest innovations from the Dia-Stron and Bossa Nova Vision instrument range. Today, we are equipped to offer our customers both single fibre and hair tress testing using mechanical methods and image analysis.
Our testing methodologies have been developed by experts with extensive practical experience in hair instrumental testing and claims support.
