The annual contest where people compete for frozen hairstyles has been cancelled.
The official “Hair Freezing Contest” is held at Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs in Yukon, Canada.
Participants wade into the naturally warm water and can “create hair-raising poses where their wet locks freeze,” SWNS reports.

Mr. Satyam Jain, spokesperson for Springs, said that the competition was postponed this year from last winter.
“We took pictures last year, but that was not enough for a proper competition,” added Jain.

Jain said the tournament usually starts anytime between December and March, as soon as the temperature drops to 20°C or below (-4°F), according to SWNS.
“I believe climate change is definitely a factor. For the hair to freeze like in the pictures, it needs to be at least -20°C,” Jain said.

“The colder it is, the better and faster the freezing effect. The best results I’ve seen are at -22°C and below.”

The current temperature in the Yukon is 23°C (32°F) – nowhere near the temperatures needed to achieve a frozen haircut.
A 2022 report from the University of Yukon said “due to climate change, temperatures in the region could increase by between 0.7 to 3.7 degrees over the next 50 years, leading to warmer winters,” according to SWNS.
