Biosense to Pravana

Converting a client's Biosense formula into Pravana? 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.

88Biosense shades in The Shade Library
34have an exact Pravana match: same depth, same reflects in the same order
54Biosense shades have no exact Pravana equivalent

Why a same-number chart is not enough

Biosense and Pravana levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 34 of 88 Biosense shades have a Pravana shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 54, the nearest Pravana shade changes the result, and knowing that before you mix saves a correction.

Sample conversions

The straightforward ones: standard natural shades where both brands print the same level. Any chart gets these right.
