North Korean men aren’t allowed to get Kim Jong Un’s haircut

Written by Jessica Wilkins — 0 Views

Don’t think about asking your barber for “The Kim Jong Un” in North Korea.

North Koreans can choose from among 15 sanctioned hairdos — none of which appears to include their leader’s signature swept-back style.

The state-approved hairstyles are illustrated in salon guides, which were tweeted last week by a Finnish reporter visiting for “Day of the Sun” celebrations in Pyongyang, according to Yahoo News.

Coloring your hair is also apparently forbidden.

“Equality in North Korea: Both sexes have 15 approved haircut models. You can forget about dyeing your hair though,” reporter Mika Mäkeläinen‏ tweeted.

The North Korean leader and hair icon reportedly first started wearing his hair in the voluminous style as a nod to his grandfather, North Korean founder Kim Il Sung.
