Frosted tips refers to a hairstyle in which the hair is cut short and formed into short spikes with hair gel or hair spray. The hair is bleached such that the tips of each spike will be pale blond, usually in contrast to the wearer's main hair color. [1]

Contents

Frosted tips were prominent throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s. [2] [3]

Notable people who wore frosted tips include Eddie Guerrero, Justin Berfield, [4] Lance Bass, [5] Steven Bradbury, [6] Aaron Carter, [7] Zac Efron, [8] Guy Fieri, [9] Joe Jonas, [10] Mark McGrath, [11] and Justin Timberlake. [12]

Other variants, such as inverted or "thawed" tips, where dark highlights are applied to the gelled ends of the person's hair that is otherwise heavily bleached, also exist. It is also common for no colouring to be applied at all, leaving the hair as a basic "short and spiky" cut.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Surfer hair</span> Tousled type of hairstyle

Surfer hair is a tousled type of hairstyle, popularized by surfers from the 1950s onwards, traditionally long, thick and naturally bleached from high exposure to the sun and salt water of the sea. In the late 1960s and 1970s, the long hair and general lack of personal grooming was closely associated with hippie culture. Today, hairstyling companies brand their own hair gels, shampoos and hair wax to achieve the "surfer look" with hairstyles that are often shorter than traditionally, which often require more grooming to achieve the permanent hair lift or intentional windswept look. Amongst women, fashion magazines have referred to "sun streaked surfer hair" as a desirable look for women, although genuine surfer hair is often heavily damaged by the elements.
