At first glance classic braids — then you turn your head and the colour appears. How the peekaboo effect works and how to choose your shade.
How it works
With peekaboo braids we place colour only in the bottom layer — usually at the nape and above the ears. The top layer stays in a natural or darker shade. When your hair is down the colour just peeks through; when you put it in a bun or ponytail it really stands out.
Why clients love it
- Subtle for work, striking for the weekend.
- No dyeing of your natural hair.
- Perfect for testing a colour before a bigger change.
How much colour?
We can add colour to just a few braids or to the whole bottom layer. The ratio of dark to light hair changes the whole effect — the more colour, the bolder the look.
Which styles it works with
The peekaboo technique works with box braids, knotless braids, twists and even boho curls. Installation takes 4 to 6 hours and the style lasts 6 to 8 weeks.
