Hair-freezing competition canceled due to unusually uncooperative weather [Video]

An annual contest in which people compete for the best frozen hairstyles has been called off.

The official “Hair Freezing Contest” is held at Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs in Yukon, Canada.

Participants step into naturally warm water and can “make hair-raising shapes when their wet locks freeze,” SWNS reported.

Satyam Jain, spokesperson for the springs, said the contest was postponed to this year from last winter.

“We took some photos last year, but that wasn’t enough for a proper contest,” Jain added.

Jain said the contest usually kicks off anytime between December and March, as soon as the temperature drops to -20°C or lower (-4°F), according to SWNS.

“I believe climate change is definitely a factor. For the hair to freeze like in the photos, it needs to be at least -20°C,” Jain said.
