Freeze Frame

 A spa in Whitehorse in Canada's Yukon territory has been holding a hair freezing contest since 2012, though last year they canceled the event since it didn't get cold enough. The temperature needs to get to at least -4 degrees F for an extended period and with global warming the temps have risen over 5.4 F in the last 30 years, so if you are counting on winning the $2,000 prize money for the best frozen do, your time may be limited. A list of the rules follo

  1. Dip your head in the hot springs and wet your hair completely. Don’t worry- freezing your hair won’t damage it.
  2. Allow the cold air to slowly freeze your hair. Keep your ears warm by periodically dipping them into the hot water. Be patient–all wet hair will eventually freeze, this includes eyebrows and even eyelashes.
  3. Once your hair has become pure white with lots of frost and ice buildup, ring the bell near the pool entrance and have our staff come out to take your photo!
