TLDR New imaging and testing methods can effectively assess hair shape changes and damage.

The review discussed methods to assess the efficacy of hair reshaping treatments, focusing on imaging technologies and image analysis. It introduced spectroscopic imaging techniques and fluorescence spectrophotometry to evaluate the biochemical state of hair fibers after reshaping. Additionally, it demonstrated the use of dynamic scanning calorimetry and traditional mechanical testing to monitor the structural integrity and tensile properties of hair.
