Heads up: Igora Vibrance is a demi color and SoColor Pre-Bonded 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 16 Igora Vibrance shades, 12 exact, 3 close and 1 approximate in this chart with SoColor Pre-Bonded. For example, Igora Vibrance's 6-0 maps to SoColor Pre-Bonded's 6N. Natural reflects cross over best; copper ones need more adjustment.

Igora Vibrance writes the reflect with a dash (7-1 = medium ash blonde); SoColor Pre-Bonded uses a letter after the level, US scale one level higher than European (7N = dark blonde neutral, A = ash). 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 SoColor Pre-Bonded?

Of the 16 Igora Vibrance shades, 12 have an exact equivalent in SoColor Pre-Bonded, 3 close and 1 approximate. 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.
