Freezing Hair Contests Need to Be a Thing in New Hampshire

It's starting to get pretty dang cold here in New Hampshire, and I think we would be the perfect state to adopt a freezing hair contest. It's a thing in Canada, so why not here? We have the frigid temps for it!

In Canada, they take their freezing hair contest VERY seriously. It takes place at Takhini Hot Springs. According to the contest's website, contestants dip their hair into the hot springs and then let it air dry in the freakishly cold air. Allegedly, this does not damage you hair! You must be patient and wait while all your wet hair freezes. I imagine you are allowed to say any curse word you would like while this process is taking place.

Once all of your hair is frozen (I'm talking eyebrows, eyelashes, the works), you call over their photographer, who will take a magnificent photo of you!

Hopefully it ends up looking something like this:

Isn't that incredible? She's like a frozen Marge Simpson!

They award different categories including...

Best Male

Note the frozen arm and chest hair. He reminds me of the abominable snowman.

Best Female

Oh my! She gives me Ursula/Medusa vibes.

Best Group

Now that's a Motley Crew.

Most Creative

I like that she accessorized to match her bathing suit. Kudos, girl.

People's Choice Award

Hilarious.

For the Freezing Hair Contest in Canada, each of the 5 winners was awarded $2,000 and unlimited access to the hot spring facility. That's a hefty prize for some frozen hair!

We don't have any hot springs here in New Hampshire to host our contest at. However, maybe a kind resident would allow us to use their hot tub for a day?

I'm still working out the kinks, but I'd really like to host/participate in one of these someday, because it looks like so much fun!
