The most popular way to style peekaboo braids is by weaving colored extensions—think pink peekaboo, red, or even rainbow shades—into your natural hair. You can opt for classic box braids, goddess braids, or knotless braids, depending on your personal preference and the look you want to achieve.

To keep your peekaboo braids looking gorgeous and fresh, a little TLC goes a long way. Start by washing your braids with a sulfate-free, color-protecting shampoo to help preserve the vibrancy of your peekaboo color. 

Avoid using heat styling tools or harsh chemicals, as these can cause your hair and color to fade or become damaged. Moisturizing your hair and scalp regularly is key to preventing dryness and breakage, especially if you’re rocking colorful extensions.

While peekaboo braids are a fun and stylish way to add color to your hair, there are a few common mistakes you’ll want to steer clear of. First, always choose high-quality hair extensions or dye—using cheap products can lead to uneven color, tangling, or even damage to your natural hair.

Another pitfall is neglecting proper care; skipping your maintenance routine can leave your braids dry, brittle, or prone to breakage.

It’s also important to be patient during the coloring process—rushing or using too much heat can cause your peekaboo color to fade quickly or look patchy.

 To get the best results, follow your stylist’s advice, use gentle products, and give your hair the care it deserves. By avoiding these mistakes, you’ll keep your peekaboo braids looking vibrant, healthy, and absolutely stunning.

The lifespan of a peekaboo braid depends on the type of hair used and how it is maintained and styled.

The braid will last 4–6 weeks if it is made entirely of synthetic hair. Synthetic hair braids are more affordable, but they curl and tangle more easily, especially when exposed to heat or friction. Regular maintenance is essential: gentle washing and avoiding excessive pulling will extend their lifespan, though they do generally wear out faster than real hair.

Use real human hair extensions, such as those from IPF Hair to braid, for a more durable and natural-looking result that will last 6–8 weeks. They can also be coloured and styled, offering greater flexibility. Use IPF Hair’s real human hair extensions to significantly improve the long-term appearance of your peekaboo braids. Make your hairstyle more durable and consistent!

Peekaboo braids also make it easy to switch up your hairstyle or color for a fresh look without a long-term commitment.

The cost of a Peekaboo braid depends on the hair type, how complicated the hairstyle is, the hair's length and thickness, and the location. The following is a list of the prices for human hair and synthetic hair (as of June 2025):

Human Hair: A Peekaboo braid made with human hair costs between $150 and $400.Human hair is natural, strong and looks great with your own hair, so it won't frizz and will last a long time. If you want a good-quality hairstyle, I suggest human hair, especially brands like IPF Hair . 

IPF Hair's Human Hair Bulk is well-known for being smooth, smelling nice, and not falling out much. This makes it perfect for creating smart Peekaboo braids.The total cost (around $50–$150 for the hair and $100–$250 for the braiding) might be a bit higher, but the results are definitely worth it!

Synthetic Hair : Peekaboo braids made with synthetic hair typically cost between $100 and $300. Synthetic hair is cheaper (about $10–30 per strand), but it doesn't last as long, it frizzes easily, and it might not feel as natural. The price of the braiding is similar to that of human hair (around $100–$250), but the results may not be as natural.

Peekaboo braids are a fun, effortless hairstyle that’s perfect for adding a pop of colour to your look without going overboard! This style features dark braids with brightly colored extensions woven in an ‘invisible’ manner to create a subtle yet eye-catching ‘belly-baring’ effect. 

It’s understated yet full of surprises! There are many ways to style or customize peekaboo braids, allowing you to tailor the look to your individual preferences, whether you want bold colors, subtle highlights, or unique patterns.

One of the biggest advantages is that you don’t need to dye your hair. You can avoid the potential damage of chemical dyes, such as dryness, breakage and scalp sensitivity, to your natural hair. For those who love trying new styles but want to avoid long-term damage to their hair, peekaboo braids are the perfect solution.
