After some medical issues my hair went completely white. (Being told you are going to die did scare the color out of me) The white hair was pretty but I just felt old with it. My daughter found some wash away color in lavender. I LOVE IT. It is very light. It took a lot of courage for me to do it because it is very "out of my box". It is not an "in your face" purple--just a gentle lavender. I get lots of good comments on it.
