Schwarzkopf to Pravana
Converting a client's Schwarzkopf 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.
214Schwarzkopf shades in The Shade Library
43have an exact Pravana match: same depth, same reflects in the same order
171Schwarzkopf shades have no exact Pravana equivalent
Why a same-number chart is not enough
Schwarzkopf and Pravana levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 43 of 214 Schwarzkopf shades have a Pravana shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 171, the nearest Pravana 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.
