People Are Dyeing Their Hair to Match the New Unicorn Frappuccino

People Are Dyeing Their Hair to Match the New Unicorn Frappuccino

People can not get enough of Starbucks’ Unicorn Frappuccino. The limited-edition pink drink with mango syrup and a drizzle of sour blue has been all over your feeds. Now, that obsession is making its way into the beauty world — yep, people are dyeing their hair to match the color-changing drink.


St. Louis-based hairstylist Caitlin Ford shared a couple of photos and a video of her take on a Unicorn Frappuccino dye job on Instagram, and let’s just say the results are an IRL-fantasy come to life.

The stylist used Lime Crime’s Unicorn Hair semi-permanent hair dye in Anime, Chocolate Cherry, and Strawberry Jam and Brazilian Bond Build3r to achieve the look. She applied the colors onto blonde hair in celestial shapes like moons and stars (because unicorn) and brushed out each section.

The final result is pure technicolor magic (and it looks even better when braided too!).

Another stylist Kelly Woodford also treated a client to unicorn frap hair, this time with a straw to complete the look.

Friends, it looks like we’ve hit peak unicorn trend.
