Hidden Hair Colour & Peekaboo Colour Trends
Looking for a Fun Summer Hair Colour Without Colouring Your Whole Head?
Summer is the perfect time to be a little more adventurous with your hair.
Longer days, holidays, festivals, weddings and evenings spent outdoors often inspire us to try something different. While some people choose a complete colour transformation, others are discovering one of the biggest hair trends of the season...
Hidden hair colour.
Also known as peekaboo hair, underlayer colour or pop colour, this playful trend lets you keep your natural colour on top while revealing a vibrant surprise underneath whenever you tie your hair up, curl it or simply let it move naturally.
It's bold without being overwhelming.
Creative without being permanent.
And one of our favourite summer trends at Spirit Hair Company in High Wycombe.
Why Hidden Colour Is One of Summer's Biggest Hair Trends
Hair trends continue to move towards individuality.
Rather than everyone choosing the same colour, more people are looking for ways to express their personality while keeping their hair versatile enough for everyday life.
That's exactly why hidden colour has become so popular.
By placing vibrant shades underneath the top layers of your hair, you can decide exactly when your colour makes an appearance.
Wear your hair down for a more subtle look.
Tie it into a ponytail or messy bun, create beach waves or wear a half-up style and suddenly a beautiful burst of colour appears.
It's like having two hairstyles in one.
The Perfect Summer Colour Pop
Summer is all about confidence, creativity and having fun.
Hidden colour allows you to experiment with shades you may never have considered before.
Some of this year's most popular summer colours include:
Candy Pink
Electric Blue
Cherry Red
Rainbow Panels
Soft Pastel Peach
Whether you're heading to a music festival, jetting off on holiday or simply want something different for summer, hidden colour offers a fun way to refresh your look.
Festival Hair Without the Full Commitment
One of the reasons hidden colour is becoming so popular is its versatility.
Many clients love that they can enjoy vibrant colour without changing their entire hairstyle.
It's ideal if you:
Want something different for summer.
Love festival-inspired hair.
Have a professional workplace.
Want colour that can stay hidden when needed.
Like experimenting with trends without colouring all of your hair.
You decide when your hidden colour steals the show.
Hidden Colour Isn't Just for Teenagers
Creative colour has evolved.
Today's hidden colour isn't about standing out for the sake of it.
It's about expressing your personality in a way that feels modern, wearable and completely individual.
We're seeing hidden colour chosen by students, professionals, mums, teachers and guests of every age who simply want something a little different this summer.
Because great colour isn't about following trends.
It's about choosing what feels right for you.
Blonde on Top, Hidden Colour Beneath
One of our favourite ways to embrace this trend is by pairing a bright, icy blonde with vibrant hidden shades underneath. Think flashes of pink, purple and blue that stay tucked away until your hair moves, is tied up or styled differently.
The result is a fresh, wearable blonde with a playful surprise that's full of personality. It's the perfect choice if you love creative colour but still want a clean, professional look for work or everyday life.
Whether you choose one bold shade or a combination of colours, hidden colour allows you to express your individuality while keeping your blonde looking bright, glossy and beautifully maintained.
Your Colour, Designed Around You
Every hidden colour appointment begins with a personalised consultation, giving us the opportunity to understand the look you want to achieve. We'll discuss the colours you love, how bold or subtle you'd like your hidden colour to be, your current hair colour and condition, your lifestyle, and any future colour plans you may have.
Some opt for a single hidden panel for a discreet pop of colour, while others choose multiple shades to create a striking rainbow effect. Every hidden colour is completely bespoke, carefully tailored to suit your personality, style and hair goals.
