Contestants aim to stand out wuth their own wild styles.
With water temperatures being around 40 degrees Celsius, Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs in Canada’s Yukon Territory is a warm place for people looking to escape the cold winters. In 2011, the spa management introduced an extra element of fun in the form of the Hair Freezing Contest. The event started out with only around 15 participants in the first few years. Since then, the number of participants has risen to about 300, with people coming from all corners of the world.
There are different categories for people to enter, including Best Male, Best Female, Best Group, Best Frozen Facial Hair, and Most Creative. Another category, People’s Choice, is decided by an online vote. The winner of each category gets CAD $2,000.
