Rather than adding a pop of colour during the front sections of your strands, ‘peek-a-boo hair’ involves colouring the underlayers of the hair using a brighter shade to contrast the top, natural hair colour. So, what’s the alternative? Peek-a-boo hair “The bold ’90s style has become massively popular and a very ‘instagrammable’ trend, but not all girls are able or want to have such bold hair colours on show all the time,” says Larry King colourist, Bryony Cairns.

Sophia recommends using the Crazy Color Anti Bleed Spray to protect your new ‘do, as well as the Innoluxe Elixir V2 “to keep the hair super healthy and shiny, which is super important for this type of colour trend.” “I predict that in six months’ time we’ll see less colour bleeds and much more of these oversized face frames in the to experiment with some creative colour options the next time you’re in the salon chair? Remember it’s important to keep your tresses in top condition following your visit. I would even go as far as to say they aren’t face frames anymore, they’ve evolved to being five inches thick in some cases,” Sophia adds. “Face frames are getting larger, and larger. What once started as a subtle ‘money piece’ to enhance a blonde or brunette balayage has become much bigger and bolder, using vibrant tones to make a statement. Face frames just got thick,” says Sophia Hilton, founder of Not Another Salon.

Up who has the got the itch to try something new with their hair? You’re not alone.
