Hair colour conversion
Converting a client's L'Oréal 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.
L'Oréal and Pravana levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 64 of 165 L'Oréal shades have a Pravana shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 101, the nearest Pravana 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.
