Schwarzkopf to Redken
Converting a client's Schwarzkopf formula into Redken? 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
53have an exact Redken match: same depth, same reflects in the same order
161Schwarzkopf shades have no exact Redken equivalent
Why a same-number chart is not enough
Schwarzkopf and Redken levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 53 of 214 Schwarzkopf shades have a Redken shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 161, the nearest Redken 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.
