If there is one thing that every girl can relate to: our hair is our most prized possession. A good hair day automatically translates to a good day. We love experimenting with our hair trying all the styles in the world. Hair trends are just as important as makeup and fashion trends, and the newest trend in the ‘hair industry’ is peekaboo highlights.

At one point, hair dye only meant coloring the whole head from root to tip in a single color, this gradually evolved into bolder streaking and bleaching, and balayage. However, a lot of people don’t think you are professional if your hair is colored in a not-so-conventional color. Here is where the newest trend comes into action- “peekaboo highlights.”

What are Peekaboo Highlights?

As the name suggests, this technique applies highlight under your top layer of hair so that if you wear your hair down, the highlights are more-or-less hidden.

Peekaboo highlights are like your personal secret. Want to show the not-so-tame side of you, run your fingers through your hair so that your highlights come into view and let people get to know your bubbly personality.

These highlights are the newest trend as people are getting increasingly tired of traditional hair dying. No offense if you like them;  but if you are into something more contemporary and love hopping on a new trend, peekaboo highlights are made for you.
