1-0 Black Natural

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 83 Igora Vibrance shades, 65 exact, 5 close and 12 approximate in this chart with Shades EQ Gloss. For example, Igora Vibrance's 6-0 maps to Shades EQ Gloss's 06N. Natural reflects cross over best; mahogany ones need more adjustment. 1 shade has no direct equivalent in Shades EQ Gloss; those cases need a formula adjustment, not a code swap.

Igora Vibrance writes the reflect with a dash (7-1 = medium ash blonde); Shades EQ Gloss uses the tonal-family letter after a zero-padded level (07N = natural, V = violet, NB = natural beige). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.

Common questions when converting between these brands

How many Igora Vibrance shades have an exact equivalent in Shades EQ Gloss?

Of the 83 Igora Vibrance shades, 65 have an exact equivalent in Shades EQ Gloss, 5 close, 12 approximate and 1 with no direct equivalent. The level (1-10) is universal; what varies is the reflect.

Are brand equivalences exact?

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.

Can I mix hair color from different 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.

What if the exact shade doesn't exist in the other 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.
