Hello barbarians at the gates! Splendid.
Frosted tips refer to a men's 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. Wikipedia
Additionally, Frosted tips are highlights that only lighten the ends (or increasingly common, the midshaft to ends) of the hair for an ombre effect. Frosted tips first became trendy in the 90s and early 2000s thanks to celebrities like Mark McGrath and Justin Timberlake. In the 90s and early aughts, frosted tips were typically paired with a short-to-medium spiky hairstyle to accentuate the lighter ends and give the style an edgier look. Today, frosted tips are back in the spotlight as other 90s trends are coming back around.
Modern frosted tips are a little softer, less focused on the short-and-spiky look, and often lighten a little more than just the tips of each strand to include more of the midshaft. You’ll see a lot of frosted tips in the coming months as this trend really takes off. I'm pretty excited and you should be as well because it's going to be huge if it's not already, which it is, so let's go gang!
Pictures!

Last but not least is the band Backstreet Boys:
Promising Review: “I bought this product because I recently stopped coloring my hair. I love my new grey but wanted to add a little depth without having to permanently color again. This was the perfect option. When I want to add some lowlights to my white hair I use some of this. Gives my hair great hold while adding the little bit of color I want. And it washed out when I shampoo the next day without staining or coloring my hair permanently. Would recommend to anyone wanting to add a little or a lot of color without the long-term commitment.” - Vicki
