1. Purple Peekaboo Highlights
Royalty, meet rebellion. Whether deep grape or amethyst, purple peekaboo adds a punch of sass to dark or brunette hair. Plus, it peeks out gorgeously in curls!
2. Blue Peekaboo
Electric or navy, blue brings cool-girl vibes to any cut. Bonus: looks ah-mazing braided or curled back for a little surprise, btch* moment.

Bubblegum or blush, pink underneath your base color is all sweet with a side of spicy. Hide it or flaunt it—it’s yours to play with.
4. Red Peekaboo Highlights
Hot, fiery, and fierce. Red peekaboo on brunettes? Iconic. On blondes? Unexpected and totally badass.
5. Blonde Peekaboo on Dark Hair
The contrast is chef’s kiss. Blonde hidden highlights on black or dark brown hair = edgy and totally model-off-duty.

Emerald, lime, or mint—you choose the mood. Green is bold but earthy, and it SLAYS with neutral outfits and bold makeup.
7. Teal Peekaboo Highlights
Ocean vibes, baby! Teal looks lush peeking through layered cuts and really shines when you wear your hair half-up.
8. Lavender Peekaboo Underlayer
Soft, dreamy, and subtle—lavender is a pastel queen’s dream. This shade is gentle rebellion, and she’s got range.
9. Rose Gold Peekaboo Hair
Luxury in a highlight. Rose gold adds warmth and shimmer to brunette or blonde bases. It’s the champagne of peekaboo shades.
10. Silver Peekaboo Highlights
Cool-toned and futuristic, silver peekaboo strands shimmer when you move. Great with icy blonde or jet black base tones.
11. Pastel Rainbow Peekaboo

Feeling brave? Neon green, pink, or yellow under your natural shade is edgy, electric, and unapologetically loud (when you want it to be).
15. Peach Peekaboo Hair
Sweet and unexpected. Peach adds warmth and charm, especially if your base is honey blonde or strawberry brown.

For the moody babes. Smoky grey says “cool girl,” and peekaboo placement keeps it just mysterious enough.
