Frosted Tips Hair Color for men

Classic Y2K-era frosted tips with spiky or textured hair where only the tips (top 1-2 inches) are bleached to an icy platinum blonde while the roots and base remain dark brown or black. The contrast between the dark base and bright blonde tips is stark and intentional. The tips are unevenly bleached for that authentic frosted effect. The hair is styled upward or textured to showcase the frosted ends. An iconic late-90s/early-2000s revival look.
