After an amazing experience with passion berry love aura at the salon I lightened my hair at home- the regular intensity lasted one shampoo only(!!) so I thought maybe it was love aura that was the magic- so I got True lav and bleached my bangs and “face framing” hair all the way to level 8, not white but extremely light blond. Using the entire bottle of lavender, after leaving it on 2 hours I rinsed it out and there was Nothing. Not even a hint of color, and before the rinse it looked like a medium grape color. Plain water washed it out as if it was nothing. And I lightened it extremely well.
