The “zero-gravity” look is what many people hope to achieve at the Hair Freezing Contest. However, the look requires the temperature to drop to at least minus 20 degrees Celsius for hair to totally freeze. If the weather is any warmer, no matter how hard one tries to shape their hair, it could all fall apart by the time the staff takes the contestant’s photograph. As climate change gets more severe, it’s becoming more likely that people’s dreams of entering the contest will melt away.
這種「零重力」的造型是許多人希望在冰凍髮藝大賽達成的目標。然而，該造型需要溫度下降到至少攝氏零下二十度才能讓頭髮完全結凍。如果天氣再暖和一些，無論再怎麼努力塑造頭髮，到了工作人員替參賽者拍照時都可能會崩塌。隨著氣候變遷變得更加嚴重，人們參加這個比賽的夢想變得更有可能破滅。
