The Less Hair the Better for Building Socialism
Communist North Korea is waging a war against long hair on men, ridiculing nonconformists as unhygienic, anti-socialist and "blind followers of bourgeois lifestyle."
Among the campaign's hairdos and don'ts: Hair should be no longer than two inches, although older men are allowed an extra four-fifths of an inch to hide baldness.
It claims long hair hampers brain activity by taking oxygen away from nerves in the head.
