Heads up: Topchic is a permanent color and Shades EQ Gloss 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 22 Topchic shades, 19 exact, 2 close and 1 approximate in this chart with Shades EQ Gloss. For example, Topchic's 6N maps to Shades EQ Gloss's 06N. Ash reflects cross over best; red ones need more adjustment.

Topchic writes the reflect with a letter after the level (7N = medium natural blonde); Shades EQ Gloss uses the tonal-family letter after a zero-padded level (07N = natural, V = violet, NB = natural beige). Both brands write the reflect in a similar way, so reading the code across is straightforward.

Questions about Topchic and Shades EQ Gloss

Common questions when converting between these brands

Of the 22 Topchic shades, 19 have an exact equivalent in Shades EQ Gloss, 2 close and 1 approximate. 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.
