Peek a Boo: Brighten Your Look with Fashion Highlights

Peekaboo highlights are sections of color placed beneath the top layers of the hair, allowing the color to appear as the hair moves or is styled. They can add subtle dimension or a bold pop of color without changing the entire head of hair.

Reasons people choose peekaboo highlights include:

• The color can be subtle or highly visible.
• Regrowth may be less noticeable than with all-over color.
• Different styling options can reveal more or less color.
• Both natural and vivid shades can be used.
• Only selected sections of hair are colored.

The coloring process depends on your starting shade and desired result. Some vivid colors may require the selected sections to be lightened first.

If you’re ready to update your look for back to school, consider trying peekaboo highlights in fashion colors.

Here’s why we love them:

Sassy look for school: Whether you’re heading back to high school in September or planning for your milestone reunion, adding some peekaboo highlights can give your look just the kick you were looking for. The color peeks out from underneath top layers, adding dimension to your style.

Less Noticeable Regrowth: Because the color is placed beneath the top layers of the hair, regrowth may be less noticeable than it is with all-over color. Maintenance needs will depend on the shade, placement, and how quickly your hair grows.

Be bold or demure: With most peekaboo highlights, you have the option to show more or less of the color underneath depending on how you style your hair. This means that you can go for a more conservative daytime look and still show off a bolder look on the weekend.

Color options: With peekaboo highlights, you can experiment with different color profiles. Just want a touch of highlight in your chestnut or auburn hair? Go with a natural-looking golden blonde peekaboo. Want to add more drama? Choose a fashionable color like hot pink or red or blue to complement your blonde or black hair.

Selected Sections: Peekaboo highlights color only selected sections rather than the entire head of hair. Depending on your natural hair color and the shade you want, those sections may need to be lightened before a vivid color is applied. Ask your stylist about the process and recommended aftercare.
