FAQ - Colortrak Tipping Caps
Q: What are Colortrak Tipping Caps used for?
A: Colortrak Tipping Caps are professional highlighting caps used to create precise, uniform highlights by pulling strands of hair through small holes in the cap before applying lightener or color. They are essential for achieving salon-quality "tipping" (highlighting the ends) and full-head highlight effects with consistent spacing and pattern .

Disposable Highlighting Caps – Convenient single-use caps with a 24-grid star pattern for precise tipping; hygienic and ready to use; come in a dispenser box .

Q: Can these caps be reused?
A: The "X Marks the Spot" caps are specifically designed as reusable – made with durable materials that withstand multiple uses. The disposable caps are for single use only and should be discarded after each service .
Q: How do I use a tipping cap for highlights?
A: General application steps:
-
Place the cap on clean, dry hair, ensuring a snug fit
-
Use the included metal needle to pull small strands of hair through the marked holes
-
Apply lightener or color to the exposed strands
-
Process according to product instructions
-
Rinse thoroughly before removing the cap
-
Clean and dry reusable caps for next use
Q: What is the advantage of using a lined cap?
A: The lined cap helps minimize color bleeding – a common problem with standard caps where lightener seeps through the cap material onto untreated hair. The lining creates an additional barrier, preventing unwanted color transfer and resulting in cleaner, more defined highlights .
Q: What are the benefits of using tipping caps over foil highlighting?
A: Tipping caps offer several advantages :
-
Faster application – No folding or wrapping individual foils
-
Consistent spacing – Pre-marked holes ensure even distribution
-
Lower cost per service – Caps are more economical than foil for full highlights
-
Perfect for beginners – Easier technique to master than foil weaving
-
Ideal for short hair – Effective for highlighting shorter lengths
Q: What is the neck protector feature?
A: The neck protector (Protector Capette) is an extended flap at the back of the cap that covers the nape of the neck. This prevents excess color, bleach, or chemicals from dripping onto the client's neck and clothing during processing .
Q: Do the caps protect the face from chemical exposure?
A: Yes. The pull-out visor feature shields the client's face from chemicals during application, reducing the risk of skin irritation or staining .
Q: What type of needle works best with these caps?
A: Professional stylists recommend using metal needles with Colortrak caps. Metal needles pierce the cap cleaner and easier than plastic hooks, creating a smoother path for pulling hair through
