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

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.
