28 State-Approved Haircuts Unveiled in North Korea

Strict Regulations for Citizens' Grooming

A Guide to the Communist Regime's Grooming Dictates

The North Korean government has taken its authoritarian control to new heights by issuing a comprehensive guide to state-sanctioned haircuts. Citizens are now required to choose from a mere 28 approved styles, with 18 options for women and 10 for men.

This unprecedented level of control over personal appearance has raised eyebrows around the world. Many have likened it to the infamous "Cultural Revolution" of China, where the government sought to eliminate all Western influences, including fashion and hairstyles.

Observers are particularly concerned about the implications for North Korea's international image. The country's leader, Kim Jong-un, has been ridiculed for his own eccentric hairstyle, which has been described as a "poor man's Elvis Presley." With the new regulations, it seems that even the slightest deviation from the approved styles will be considered an act of rebellion.
