What is peekaboo hair?

Peekaboo hair refers to a coloring technique where a section of hair is dyed in a contrasting or bold color, which is then hidden underneath the top layer of hair. The name comes from the fact that the colored section is hidden, but can be revealed by moving the top layer of hair.

This technique can be used to add a fun and playful element to a hairstyle, while still allowing for a more professional or subtle appearance when the hair is styled normally.

The peekaboo section can be as small or as large as desired, and the color options are virtually endless, ranging from bright and bold shades to more natural-looking hues.

How to Do Peekaboo Hair at Home? 

Peekaboo hair can be achieved at home with the right tools and techniques. Here are some steps to follow to do peekaboo hair at home:

  1. Choose your color: Decide on the color you want to use for your peekaboo section. This can be a bright, bold color, or a more natural-looking shade.

  2. Section your hair: Using a comb, section the hair where you want the peekaboo section to be. This can be a small section at the nape of the neck, or a larger section on one side of the head.

  3. Apply the color: Apply the hair color to the section of hair using a brush or applicator. Follow the instructions on the hair color packaging, and make sure to apply the color evenly and thoroughly.

  4. Process the color: Allow the hair color to process for the recommended amount of time, as specified on the packaging. This can range from 15-45 minutes, depending on the type of hair color you're using.

  5. Rinse and dry: Once the hair color has processed, rinse the hair thoroughly with cool water to remove any excess color. Shampoo and condition the hair as usual, then dry and style your hair as desired.

  6. Reveal the peekaboo section: Once your hair is styled, you can reveal the peekaboo section by parting your hair or pulling back the top layer to expose the colored section.

Keep in mind that coloring hair at home can be tricky, so it's important to follow the instructions on the hair color packaging carefully, and to do a patch test before applying the color to your entire head. If you're unsure about coloring your hair at home, it may be best to consult with a professional hairstylist.
