Pravana to Biosense

Converting a client's Pravana formula into Biosense? 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.

101Pravana shades in The Shade Library
34have an exact Biosense match: same depth, same reflects in the same order
67Pravana shades have no exact Biosense equivalent

Why a same-number chart is not enough

Pravana and Biosense levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 34 of 101 Pravana shades have a Biosense shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 67, the nearest Biosense 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.
