I’m so excited to share these peekaboo highlight ideas with you guys! If you’re anything like me, you’re always looking for fun ways to switch things up without committing to a whole new hair color.
Peekaboo highlights are such a perfect solution, giving you that pop of color that’s trendy and so fun. I put together some of my absolute favorite looks to give you some major inspo. Hope you love them!
What Is Peekaboo Hair Color?
So, peekaboo highlights get their name for a super obvious reason—they give you that cute little ‘peekaboo’ moment! The color is applied underneath the top layer of your hair, which means they’re not super noticeable when your hair is down.
But, trust me, the second you pull your hair into a ponytail, those highlights make an appearance. They also really pop if you go for a wavy style.
Honestly, that’s why I think so many people go for bright colors with this trend—that little flash of color looks absolutely amazing.
Who Should Get Peekaboo Highlights?
Literally anyone can rock peekaboo highlights! You could go for a dramatic, party-ready neon color, or if you’re more of a minimalist, a soft beige or blonde would look gorgeous.
I personally think the more natural and neutral shades are a great choice for the office, especially for women who can’t do a huge hair transformation because of work. There’s a little something for everyone.
