It was a bit of a trend in the early 2000s, many male celebrities had blonde highlights running through their hair, and one of them was the ever popular David Beckham! The only man you ever see with this style now is Barnie Simpson from How I Met Your Mother, and that shows is very last year.

Blonde highlights have always given guys a bit of a ‘pretty boy’ or ‘boy band’ look and we’ve now moved into the stage where rugged looks are popular. It’s all about big bushy beards and it doesn’t look like there’s any way back for the clean-shaven face with a head of highlights. I think many guys will look back and laugh at how embarrassing it was for many years to come.
