Hair colour conversion
Converting a client's Alfaparf formula into Schwarzkopf? The Shade Library matches shades by verified depth and ordered reflects, not by the number printed on the tube. Here's how the two ranges line up.
Alfaparf and Schwarzkopf levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 40 of 160 Alfaparf shades have a Schwarzkopf shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 120, the nearest Schwarzkopf shade changes the result, and knowing that before you mix saves a correction.
The straightforward ones: standard natural shades where both brands print the same level. Any chart gets these right.
