Where the color sits on your scalp determines how it interacts with movement and everyday styling. Master colorists rely on three distinct peekaboo placement techniques to customize your final look.
The occipital veil stands as the classic standard. Your stylist establishes a clean horizontal or crescent parting directly below the occipital bone, isolating the nape area. This creates a solid curtain of blue that remains 100% invisible when hair rests flat over the shoulders, but turns heads instantly when you gather your hair into an updo or step into a stiff breeze.
The perimeter halo offers a different visual reward. By sectioning a two-inch ribbon around the entire hairline, extending behind the ears and around the temples, the blue naturally frames the collarbones even when the hair is worn down in front. This approach works exceptionally well on shorter bobs and textured lobs.
Micro-slice weaves distribute the blue throughout the interior rather than concentrating it in a single block. Stylists weave thin foils diagonally beneath the crown. As the hair swings, delicate slivers of sapphire and cobalt ripple through your brown strands, creating a dimensional, liquid-like illusion ideal for a cool-toned brunette.
