According to StyleCraze, peekaboo highlights are performed by coloring an inch from your natural part and moving downward. They're locked in place with foils. Perhaps the best part about peekaboo highlights is the plethora of options. Not only can you choose multiple colors in one session, but the color can also be placed on the bangs, around the ears, or in the back, according to hair care blog Terrific Tresses. Another benefit about these highlights is that they are low maintenance, as you don't have to worry about pesky roots grow out.
While you may be tempted to save money by doing peekaboo highlights yourself at home, this is an unwise choice. Because of the intricate nature and skill required to create these highlights, it's much better to get a professional dye job to avoid damaging your hair.
And finally, when it comes to maintenance, use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner, avoid tight updos for three weeks, and get regular touch-ups to make sure the color stays vibrant.
