This is what you use when you decide to go from black hair to blonde, or when you're trying to cover up those 'wisdom highlights' (a.k.a. white hair). It's the stuff in the box at Watsons that promises to change your life, or at least your hair color, for a few weeks.
From Spanish 'tinte' (dye, tint).
Almost exclusively used for hair dye in modern colloquial Tagalog. The more general word for 'dye' is 'tina'.
