The next wave of direct dye colors will be more lived-in and grungy, perfectly exemplified in this gorgeous, rooty blend by L'ANZA Healing Haircare Design Team Member Vernon Fuentes. He applied the shades using two methods, so keep scrolling!

Steps
- Vernon's secret weapon is L'ANZA Color Guard, a treatment that extends color up to 107 percent longer and prevents water-induced color fading, that's part of the brand's Color Attach system. He uses it as a diluter to make the formulas more viscose, then sprays each formula on the head with a continuous mist spray bottle.
- He also applied the formulas using a traditional bowl-and-brush method to demonstrate that either technique works!
