Peekaboo highlights are some hidden dyed pieces under the top layer of strands. Introducing them into your style gives you a quirky and unique look.

Such dyed strands can work in all types of your styles. You can now go to work without getting anxious if your hair dye is allowed in the office. You can simply hide the colored pieces and flaunt them whenever you want – parties, dates, and other occasions you have in mind.

1. Dark Lob with Gray Underneath. Enhance the beauty of your natural dark hair color by adding some silver bits. This style looks classy and fun without being overwhelming.

3. Shag with Platinum Underlayer. The wolf crop with a high-contrast accent for brunettes are a hot combo. Some great options for dark hair are gray, platinum blonde, and pearl white.
