Some parameters are only available in Advanced mode.
Overall Color – A common color multiplier for all color components in the material (except for opacity). Used to easily change the look of the entire hair material.
Transparency – Controls the transparency of the material. Making the hair more transparent towards the tip may produce more smooth and realistic anti-aliasing at the expense of increased render times. If you map the tip opacity, make sure you do not make the strands thinner at the tip as well - transparency already creates the effect of thinning strands.
