Peekaboo Highlight Braids

I have always loved having highlights on my hair. And when I came across the Peekaboo highlight braids I knew I had to try this one out.

Peekaboo Brown Braids

I sport peekaboo braids with brown hair for clients who want to try out something new but stay on the safe side.

As subtlety is the key aspect of this hairstyle, I use brown extensions on only four to five strands in the midst of a head full of black extensions.

It makes the color pop out without bringing too much-unwanted attention.

This is a great hairdo for all the introverted fashionistas as it can be a great conversation starter.

Embrace the subtlety and look elegant with this hairstyle.

Mid-Peekaboo Braids

If you want a peekaboo braid but do not want to go through the hassle of long hair then you can always opt for a mid-length one.

Just because your hair is not in an eye-catching length does not mean that you can not be the center of attention with your hairdo.

To do this, I recommend you pick out a color that easily stands out like bubblegum pink, the shades of neon colors, or mix and match them.

Have fun with your mid-length peekaboo braids this summer!

Peekaboo Knotless Braids

I used to be afraid of people who wear knotless braids. Because I thought when I am running around the city the braids would fall off.

However, they don’t. Instead, if you add on a vibrant color like bright white amid your black hair it can create an ethereal hairdo.

I have been eyeing this hairstyle for a long time. But I have yet to try one out for myself. I will definitely try one out when I have time.

I hope you get to try this hairstyle out as well.

Peekaboo Twisted Braids

From simple to intricately detailed, peekaboo twisted braids come with a lot of variations.

I usually go for this one when my clients want something more fun and youthful with their peekaboo hairdo.

And every time I did this one I saw my clients leave my salon with more energy and a huge boost of confidence.

To perfect this hairdo, I would recommend you go see your trusted hairstylist and take proper consultation.

Be confident in your choice and look absolutely divine with your peekaboo twisted braids.

Peekaboo Scarlet Red Braids

I can not stress enough how much I am in love with the perfectly boxed peekaboo braids with a scarlet red and brown combo.

I know that peekaboo braids are supposed to be with box braids, in general, but wearing them with the perfect shade of brown and red can be daunting.

I have sported this one for a lot of my clients and I have only one tip to give. Just make sure these two colors match your skin color palette.

If you can match them properly then you will rock this hairstyle and if not you will end up looking like you are wearing a cheap wig.

No matter which color combination you decide to go for, I assure you that the beauty of your hair will be no match for anyone.

Peekaboo Braided Reverse Ponytail

We all have heard of different versions of ponytails. But among them, my favorite one is the reversed one.

This has the extra swagger that matches well with the peekaboo braid hairdo.

With the delight of a ponytail and the fun colors from peekaboo braids, this hairdo alone can make anyone stand out in a crowd.

However, to make this hairstyle a little more fun, I make heart-shaped braids on the side and this single design just makes the hairstyle stand out even more.

Boho Peekaboo Braid

I love the boho aesthetic with all my heart. I must express all my gratitude to this aesthetic for introducing me to a fantastic hairstyle like the boho peekaboo braid.

For this hairstyle, I curled the ends of only half of the braids that are in natural colors such as black or brown, and then I braided the rest of the colored ones tightly and secured their ends.

It has the perfect combination of free-spirited curls and the elegance of tight braids providing the ideal hairstyle to wear with any bohemian attire.

Vibrant Red Peekaboo Braid

Since I was a kid I was always obsessed with the color red. Hence, I have tried out the vibrant red peekaboo braid with different shades of this color.

I must say, according to my skin palette, the best among them was the garnet and scarlet red combo.

The key aspect of this hairstyle that I love the most is that its red color won’t fade out that easily as it’s usually done on hair extensions.

But, in general, the red hair color tends to fade out fast. To preserve the red color you can always use a color-depositing conditioner and cool water while showering.

Be the center of attention with this hairdo.

Half Peekaboo Braids

The half peekaboo braid is the epitome of half-and-half hairstyles.

Because to create this hairdo, I braid only the top half of the hair while keeping the ends curled. Then I dye half part in vibrant color and the other half in your natural color.

Everything in this style is half and half.

However, don’t worry girl! Because you would never look like you’ve styled your hair half-assed with this one.
