1. Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino Hair

Following the release of Starbucks’ Unicorn Frappuccino a few weeks ago, hairstylist Kelly O’Leary-Woodford was inspired to create a ‘do that mimicked the coloring of the sweet frozen beverage. After posting a photo of her blue and pink locks, the image went wild on social media. “My hair coloring is definitely healthier than the drink,” O’Leary-Woodford told the Huffington Post. “If you color hair nice and slow, it’s fine. Plus, the ingredients I use help condition the hair.”

2. Barbed-Wire Brows

After a rising trend of feathered eyebrows, barbed-wire eyebrows starting making major waves. The origins appear to trace back to skin care therapist Sara Jean, who posted an Instagram photo of a model with spiked and separated brows on April 21. Jean credited the look to @athenapaginton, who originally posted a picture of a model with barbed-wire eyebrows on March 10. The post has garnered more than 23,000 likes — but the commenters don’t all agree.
