Paul Mitchell to IT&LY Hair Fashion

Converting a client's Paul Mitchell formula into IT&LY Hair Fashion? 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.

108Paul Mitchell shades in The Shade Library
44have an exact IT&LY Hair Fashion match: same depth, same reflects in the same order
5of those matches sit at a different level than the numbers suggest

Why a same-number chart gets these wrong

Brands don't calibrate their levels the same way. For 5 of the Paul Mitchell shades that have a IT&LY Hair Fashion match, the matching IT&LY Hair Fashion shade carries a different level on the tube. A chart that swaps like-for-like numbers would send you to the wrong depth for every one of them. The Shade Library maps each shade to a standard depth and reflect structure first, then finds the equivalent.

Sample conversions

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