Hair colour conversion
Converting a client's muk formula into L'Oréal? 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.
muk and L'Oréal levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 38 of 91 muk shades have a L'Oréal shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 53, the nearest L'Oréal 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.
