Government Haircuts

The North Korean government has issued haircut guidance for its citizens and chosen 28 hairstyles it deems 'appropriate' for members of the single-party state. Photos of the 28 haircuts recommended by the totalitarian regime (pictured below) have been issued to salons around the country. The cuts were chosen for being comfortable and resistant to Western influences.

Married women are allowed shorter hair, but unmarried women have to keep their hair longer. Old men are allowed to let their hair grow up to 7cm, but younger men are urged to get their hair cut every 15 days.

The state is mother.
The state is father.
The state is barber.

  1. I rather fancy a No.14, the elegance of a demi wave with a slight quiff. Kim Jong Un sports a rather nifty coff but it's not on the list!
