For tip application, you will need aluminum foil strips, a bowl, an applicator brush, and your protective gloves. Make sure that the brush and bowl are non-metallic and are used only for coloring hair. Squeeze the required amount of the color cream into the bowl. Take a section of hair that you wish to color and place a foil strip underneath approximately 3–4 cm towards the end of the hair. Dip the brush into the bowl containing the color cream and brush the tips of the hair with it. Then fold the foil strip so that the tips are wrapped in the foil (2). To ensure that the foil stays in place, use hair clips. Rinse the gloves and keep them for rinsing your hair or for the next application.
