Peekaboo highlights have swiftly become a popular choice for those looking to add a playful twist to their hair without the commitment of traditional highlights. These aren’t your average streaks; peekaboo highlights offer a striking contrast hidden beneath the top layer of hair, providing a surprise pop of color that can be as bold or as subtle as desired. The versatility allows us to tailor them to our personal style, whether we want them to shimmer subtly under a champagne blonde or stand out boldly against a chestnut brown.
The beauty of peekaboo highlights lies in their flexibility. They’re perfect for any hair color, from the lightest of blondes to the deepest of brunettes, and work well with a variety of haircuts. Our choice of hue can be anything from pastel tones to vibrant shades, designed to complement our skin tone and eye color. Moreover, the placement is not limited to the back of the head but can be customized to our preference. Not only does this method add dimension to our hair, it does so with minimal damage and maintenance, provided we use color-safe shampoos and conditioners to keep our hair healthy and the color vibrant.
Chapter Overview
What Are Peekaboo Highlights?
Peekaboo highlights are a color trend where bright or contrasting colors are applied to the bottom layers of hair, remaining hidden under the top layer. This technique allows for a subtle yet quirky pop of color that is only visible when the hair is styled to reveal them.
- Placement: Underneath the top layer of hair
- Visibility: Subtle when hair is down; bold when styled to show
Peekaboo highlights offer a unique look with vibrant color options for a fun twist on traditional highlights. They’re perfect for those with dark hair seeking a tapered design of bright and bold without the commitment of full bleach.
