A member asked:

Advice. i want 2color my hair, maybe i'll do an ombr look -color just the tips. i'm afraid bcuz my scalp is sensitive&chair is shedding like crazy! ?

Tips only: The key is to stay away from the scalp and the root of the hair shafts, where the sensitivity can be a problem.So perform the dye treatment on the tips and the hairshafts only
