<strong>Best Male: </strong>There are few steps involved in achieving the perfect look. First, dip your head in the hot springs and wet your hair completely. Then, allow the cold air to slowly freeze your hair. You're going to have to be patient. All that wet hair will eventually freeze -- eyebrows and eyelashes included.
