No direct equivalent in Igora Vibrance (1)

These SoColor Pre-Bonded shades have no comparable level-and-reflect shade in Igora Vibrance. Switching ranges here means adjusting the formula, not swapping one code for another.

  • 11N Extra Light Blonde+ Neutral

Heads up: SoColor Pre-Bonded is a permanent color and Igora Vibrance is demi. Coverage, longevity and the final result will differ: adjust the service, not just the shade.

How to read the match: Exact = same level and same reflect · Close = same level, same reflect family · Approximate = same level in natural, or adjacent level with the same reflect. Hover each badge for that row's reason.

Of the 101 SoColor Pre-Bonded shades, 28 exact, 45 close and 27 approximate in this chart with Igora Vibrance. For example, SoColor Pre-Bonded's 6N maps to Igora Vibrance's 6-0. Natural reflects cross over best; copper ones need more adjustment. 1 shade has no direct equivalent in Igora Vibrance; those cases need a formula adjustment, not a code swap.

SoColor Pre-Bonded writes the reflect with a letter after the level, US scale one level higher than European (7N = dark blonde neutral, A = ash); Igora Vibrance uses a dash (7-1 = medium ash blonde). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.

Common questions when converting between these brands

Of the 101 SoColor Pre-Bonded shades, 28 have an exact equivalent in Igora Vibrance, 45 close, 27 approximate and 1 with no direct equivalent. The level (1-10) is universal; what varies is the reflect.

No. Equivalences are approximate because each brand uses different pigments, bases, and concentrations. The level (1-10) is universal, but the reflect result may vary. We always recommend doing a strand test when switching brands.

It's not recommended. Each brand formulates its products with specific chemistry (pH, alkalizing agent, pigment system). Mixing brands can create unpredictable reactions and unwanted results. Always use color and developer from the same brand.

The tool shows you the closest available shade. If you need a very specific result, you can combine two shades from the target brand (for example, mixing a natural with an ash to get a soft ash). Blendsor calculates these mixes automatically.
