Crystal took out all of her potion making tools necessary for making the Hair Changing Potion. She then made sure to write down all of the necessary ingredients and brewing instructions on a sheet of parchment for easy access. She hated having to look up again and again for instructions on the board.

" Allright then, let's do this...I hope it comes out well." She first measured out the water and set it aside. Then she dug around her potions supply looking for a moonstone. "Aha! there you are..." she muttered to herself as she found it. She put the stone in the cauldron and added the water. Next she started a small flame under the cauldron to begin boiling the water. " Five minutes..." she timed it, and then went on to gather up the Belladonna and Nettles she would need. At the exact moment five minutes was up, she added the two ingredients. Now all she needed to do was wait again.

When the belladonna and nettles were done boiling, she reduced the heat to simmer them for five minutes more.Five minutes later she checked her notes and she began to stir the potion clockwise , counting out loud to twenty to make sure it was right. She then repeated the process, but stirred counter-clockwise this time. " Hmm...my notes say it should be clear..." she checked, and it was.

" There we go! now...what color should I have?" she pondered for a moment, then decided that she would try for a shade of dusty purplish rose..." I know! Mauve!" She measured out 200 ml of the potion in to a goblet. Then she dipped the tip of her wand in the potion, thinking *mauve mauve mauve* " Coloro!" she said.
