With the number of eye-catching and vibrant hair colour trends which have made a splash this season, it’s no surprise that rainbow hues are officially en vogue. For beauty addicts who want to stealthily experiment with their locks, the look of hidden rainbow hair may be an ideal solution.

Staying true to its name, hidden rainbow hair features strands of cleverly concealed multicoloured highlights. These vivid streaks are hidden underneath the rest of the hair, for a more subtle approach to 2016’s trend of fierce and colourful hair.

If you want to offer the illusion of a natural hair colour for your day job, hidden rainbow streaks just may be a winning combination of business and play. The carefully integrated coloured highlights are placed on the lower half of the hair, so darker, natural strands can cover the hair artistry.

From bold sections of hair to softer streaks, hidden rainbow highlights are quickly causing a sensation on Instagram. The colour trend seems to be especially making an impression among brunettes and redheads, who are proudly displaying their striking colour jobs.

For anyone bored of sun-kissed honey highlights, hidden rainbows may be a more adventurous hair trend. Reminiscent of the now-iconic Snapchat filter, these gorgeous chunky highlights just may be a look to embrace this season.
