Tipping: Tipping involves applying hair color or bleach to the ends of the hair to create a gradient or ombre effect.
This technique adds dimension and depth to the hair, with lighter or darker tips contrasting against the rest of the
hair. Hair coloring tipping is a technique used to add color to the tips or ends of the hair,
creating a gradient or ombre effect. This technique is often employed to achieve a subtle transition from one color
to another or to add depth and dimension to the hair.
Procedure
1 Prepare the Hair: Start with clean, dry hair. Ensure that the hair is free from any styling products or residue.
2 Section the Hair: Divide the hair into sections using hair clips or ties. This helps to organize the hair and
ensures even application of the color.
3 Select the Color: Choose the color or colors you want to use for tipping. Tipping can involve adding a lighter
or darker shade to the ends of the hair, depending on the desired effect.
4 Mix the Hair Color: Prepare the hair color according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Mix the color and
developer in a non-metallic bowl until smooth and well blended.

5 Apply the Color to the Tips: Take one section of hair at a time and apply the hair color to the tips or ends
using an Applicator brush or comb. Start a few inches above the ends and work your way down to ensure a
gradual transition of color.

6 Blend the Color: Use your fingers or a comb to blend the color into the rest of the hair, creating a seamless
transition between the colored tips and the natural hair color.
7 Process the Color: Allow the hair color to process for the recommended amount of time, typically between 20
to 45 minutes, depending on the desired level of color intensity.

8 Rinse and Condition: Once the processing time is complete, rinse the hair color from the tips with lukewarm
water until the water runs clear. Apply a color-safe conditioner to the hair and leave it on for a few minutes
before rinsing again. This helps to lock in moisture and keep the hair hydrated.
9 Style the Hair: Style the hair as desired using heat styling tools or air drying. You can also add additional
styling products to enhance the overall look.
Tipping is a versatile hair coloring technique that can be customized to achieve various effects, from subtle
highlights to bold color contrasts.
