15. Toucan Colors: Tropical birds are the O.G. rainbow wearers, so we love the idea of taking inspiration from their plumage and making it work on some “feathered” hair. (via Pravana)
16. Yarn-Woven Braid: Even if you don’t have time to run out and buy some chalk, we’re sure your creative self has yarn around, right? Tie a few different colors into your hair, then weave it into a fishtail braid for a clever, temporary solution. (via A Beautiful Mess)
