Redken to Schwarzkopf
Converting a client's Redken formula into Schwarzkopf? 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.
262Redken shades in The Shade Library
41have an exact Schwarzkopf match: same depth, same reflects in the same order
221Redken shades have no exact Schwarzkopf equivalent
Why a same-number chart is not enough
Redken and Schwarzkopf levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 41 of 262 Redken shades have a Schwarzkopf shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 221, the nearest Schwarzkopf 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.
