"Hidden" or peek a boo highlights?

[persa]

Anyone have experience with this type of highlights? I'd like to do something "fun" with my hair but not over the top. I work in the medical field so I can't get too crazy.

I have dark brown, almost black hair with a lot of gray on top that I color to match my natural color and a colorist I consulted with suggested this kind of highlights for me since it would allow me to still touch up my gray roots

Anyway, I don't know much about this style other than my Google search. I think that's what the picture below shows, right? That's not me in the picture but my hair is almost the same color as hers and I straighten it as well. I think I'd probably do more in the mid section of my hair, not just the bottom parts though.

Anyway, if you know anything about this style and/or have suggestions on the shade of highlights I should consider, I would love to hear about it.

Yes, those are peek a boo highlights.  Here's a pic from my pinterest board, which is obviously a very different hair color than yours.


I'm loving plum highlights right now and if it were me and I had dark hair, I'd definitely go with plum.

These are really pretty too, I think.

I love the look! A coworker of mine gets these in purple with her blonde hair and it looks amazing.

I had fun peek a boo magenta highlights for a while and loved them.

Ok, that's exciting, thanks y'all. If anyone sees any other good pics of super dark brown hair with peek a boo highlights, can you LIP or PIP? Remember, it still needs to be somewhat "professional".

I saved this on Pinterest. I LOVE dark purple on dark brown/black hair. I would do purple for myself but my hair has a reddish hue to it even though it's dark brown so I don't think it would work for me.

I did peek a boo purple. I loved it. I work in the medical field too

I have those but mine are more subtle. My hair is black and got dark purple red.
