Peekaboo Highlights

Last year marked the comeback for bleached front bits. Very ’90s. But, if you’ve been on Pinterest at all recently, you’ll already be in the know about this fresh take on the much-loved trend. Keep it cool with an icy blonde stripe, or have a bit of fun with pastel tones and bold neons.
