North Korea Unveils State-Sanctioned Haircuts
Limited Options for Women and Men
Guide Released by Government
The world's most isolated nation, North Korea, has implemented state-sanctioned haircuts for its citizens, according to the Telegraph. Women are restricted to a mere 14 approved hairstyles, while men have 10 options to choose from.
The North Korean government has released a guide to these sanctioned haircuts, revealing 28 variations in total—18 for women and 10 for men. While long hair often carries connotations of freedom and expression, the government has seemingly acknowledged its power by dictating parameters for its styling.
This latest hair-brained order from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has added another layer of control to the nation's strict regulations. Images of North Korean women receiving their state-approved haircuts have circulated online, providing a glimpse into the rigidity of life under the Kim regime.
