No direct equivalent in INOA (2)

These Shades EQ Gloss shades have no comparable level-and-reflect shade in INOA. Switching ranges here means adjusting the formula, not swapping one code for another.

  • 02ABn Cool Ebony
  • 02M Midnight Ash

Heads up: Shades EQ Gloss is a demi color and INOA is permanent. 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 124 Shades EQ Gloss shades, 27 exact, 46 close and 49 approximate in this chart with INOA. For example, Shades EQ Gloss's 06G maps to INOA's 6.3. Ash reflects cross over best; matte ones need more adjustment. 2 shades have no direct equivalent in INOA; those cases need a formula adjustment, not a code swap.

Shades EQ Gloss writes the reflect with the tonal-family letter after a zero-padded level (07N = natural, V = violet, NB = natural beige); INOA uses a dot (7.1 = ash blonde). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.

Questions about Shades EQ Gloss and INOA

Common questions when converting between these brands

Of the 124 Shades EQ Gloss shades, 27 have an exact equivalent in INOA, 46 close, 49 approximate and 2 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.
