The Withings Hair Coach is a smart hair brush -- an infusion of an everyday object with technology to alter daily beauty routines, keeping hair happy and healthy.
The current state of your hair is a reflection of your diet, stress levels, overall health and genetics -- with all these factors, assessing the effectiveness of a product, can be a bit of a guessing game. Developed in collaboration with L’Oréal’s Research and Innovation Technology Incubator, this smart hair brush uses advanced sensors, thoughtful product design and smartphone technology to track, analyze and score the quality of hair, while monitoring different products and daily hair care routines.
To use the product, the consumer simply brushes the comb through their hair, while the smart technology does the rest, sending and storing information in the users accompanied smartphone app.
The rise of smart technology is changing daily beauty routines, allowing for consumers to upgrade a mundane product to positively effect the way they care for themselves.
