Starbucks has created something that's bordering on a movement with the introduction of the Unicorn Frappuccino.

The frenzy that has accompanied the release of the new drink, however, may also have to do with the fact that it will only be around for a limited time. Starbucks will stop making the electric pink-and-blue beverage on April 23.

But don't worry; people are already coming up with ways to keep the mythical vibes going. One of those ways is by dyeing your hair a Unicorn Frappuccino color.

That's right. YOUR HAIR.

Hairstylist Caitlin Ford used a product called Lime Crime's Unicorn Hair (must have been inevitable with that name) to create a gradient design in her client's hair that almost exactly mimics the colors in the Starbucks drink.

She's not the only hairstylist with this idea, however. Kelly Woodford also gave a client Unicorn Frappuccino hair, albeit more subtle and subdued. The green Starbucks straw in the hair is a nice touch.

If you are a self-proclaimed unicorn in human form, this is what you have been waiting for. Now is your time to live.

Go to Starbucks and tell them you want the Unicorn Frappuccino, then stop at the nearest hair salon and tell them you want the Unicorn Frappuccino. Win-win.
