North Korean leader Kim Jong Un literally owns his distinctive hairdo — men in the country reportedly are not allowed to get a cut like the young tyrant.
Illustrated guides have appeared in hair salons in Pyongyang showing 15 men's haircuts that are acceptable, a journalist who has been given access to the country has claimed, Yahoo News reported.
They are all similar, but off the menu is long hair – and Kim's distinctive tuft-on-the-top and shaved-at-the-sides cut, the outlet reported.
Women have a little more latitude.
Coloring your hair is also forbidden, the outlet reported.
The North Korean leader started wearing his 'do as a nod to his grandfather, Kim Il Sung, the Guardian reported.
