Brr! North of Canada increase every year around minus 30 degrees air temperature People into the water. There is namely a strange one competition Instead of the Eishaar-Contest. The participants bathe in so-called Thermal water. Thermal water is water that naturally has at least 20 degrees plus or more. It comes out of the ground so warm and also has healing powers. For example, it can be healthy for the skin and joints.
The thermal water pool in which the competition takes place in Canada is outdoors. Outdoors in winter in the north it is often minus 20 degrees and less.
How does the competition work exactly?
The participants get into the water, straighten their hair the way they want it to be, and then let nature take its course. That’s what he says Last year’s winner Nikolai Paterak in an interview. The steam that rises from the warm thermal water causes dry hair to freeze. Getting them wet beforehand is against the rules of the game. However, some of them cheat anyway and spray their hair with water, says the previous year’s winner.
This year was due to the competition Corona not yet started. The thermal spring in question is still closed. If it reopens, the competition will run until April. This is how long the participants have time to have the lifeguard take a great picture of themselves with ice hair.
Money for agony
Only really hard-boiled people manage to hang out in the cold for so long. You should definitely not imitate this, because it can be really dangerous. Because it takes time up to 20 minutes to create such a great ice hair hairstyle. The best hairstyle will be chosen at the end of the competition. The winner will receive around 1,300 euros for this “torment”. Many people would actually start screaming in pain, according to last year’s winner.
