At first I was skeptical because of the mauve, because I do not like purple actually. But this color just looks mega nice. Did my hair previously washed 3 times only, but the color still exudes. When dry, the hair dye from not at all because everything is great, but if you have her hair washed them stain when wet from pretty, even if you go through the hair with your fingers you immediately purple hands and when you sleep goes one should advance the hair blow dry if you do not want to mess up the bed.
