Ombre, Balayage, Peeakaboo, & More
Have you heard all of the latest terms in hair color lately? Ombre, Peekaboo, Balayage, and more! Do you know the differences? More importantly, do you know what color style works best for you?
In this article, we break down exactly what each hair color style is and who’s doing it.
Ombre Hair Color Style
The Ombre hair coloring technique is getting very popular as more women want to add more color to their hair.
Ombre has a distinctive grown-out look. It looks like you got highlights, but haven’t quite made it back into the salon to get touch-ups.
There can even be a very obvious hairline with two or more colors. For example, you could be a brunette and then have blond highlights mixed with some red or even something bolder like blue or purple!
The Ombre hair color is very popular among Millennials.
Balayage Hair Color Style
Unlike the Ombre look, which can be very obvious, the Balayage look is made to look like the sun did it versus foil.
The overall goal is to give you that sun-kissed look – like you just got back from a vacation in the sun.
Besides looking great, it requires very little maintenance as it grows out. As your hair gets longer, the color will blend with your natural hair color and eventually go away and you get your hair cut.
A big advantage is that you won’t see any “roots” as you do with other hair coloring techniques. It also works well regardless of your hair color.
Also known as “hand-painted highlights”, Balayage hair coloring works really well for anyone wanting some color to their hair without the obvious look or the required maintenance.
From college students to working professionals, Balayage is a great option for perfect new hair color.
Peekaboo Hair Color Style
Color is big. And not just highlights but pink, blue, purple, green, and more!
But not everyone wants to show their color all of the time. Enter the Peekaboo.
The Peekaboo is a burst of bright colors on the side or back of the head. It can be one solid color or a bunch of colors all flowing together.
It can even be covered under the normal hair color and then pulled back to be exposed based on the situation.
The Peekabo is especially popular with professionals like nurses, insurance agents, realtors, attorneys, dental hygienists, and more.
This way can have their hair look more traditional in their professional settings but then when going out, can show off their sassiness!
The goal is to feel young by adding some color and having some fun.
