Abstract

A process is provided for determining the degree of damage to keratinous fibers. The process includes providing a container containing a liquid preparation, introducing keratinous fibers into the container, and applying at least one impulse to the container to determine the degree of damage. The liquid preparation contains at least two immiscible continuous liquid phases, where the phases differ in densities at 20° C. by at least 0.04 g/ml.
