Approved women's hair cuts in North Korea. dn.se

A few weeks ago I read in the Swedish newspaper how North Korea have laws or restrictions of how males and females cut and style their hair. Men have apparently ten hair styles and women have 18. A married woman is supposed to keep her hair shirt, while unmarried women can have a bit longer hair. My first thought was, "Seriously, how weird is that?!". Then I thought about it some more and realized that this is not that unusual. 

The school where my husband works, all the girls with long hair must have it up in a pony tail, the boys must have their hair cut short.It's a part of their uniform. Male teachers are also not allowed to have long hair. 

If you are going to work at Disney resorts you also need to have a neat cut hair cut. Men should have short cut hair, no visible tattoos etc. It's also a part of the uniform. 

Is it discriminating? Yes and no. I mean, everyone should be able to look the way they want to, but at the same time it's about keeping a brand value and meet expectations of the customer. I guess if you don't work to meet and greet guests at Disney, your hairdo is not that important. At least I hope not. 

It's just hair, not that big of a deal, but still it's a bit disturbing... it's about freedom of choice. You decide how you want to have your hair cut, in my humble opinion.
