Iran has laid down the law: mullets won\u2019t make the cut.<\/p>\n
The Islamic regime, which strictly enforces head coverings for women, issued grooming guidelines for the guys this week.<\/p>\n
Among the do\u2019s that are now don\u2019ts? The \u201980\u2019s Prince-style pompadour preferred by many young Iranian men, the Steven Seagal-style ponytail and the \u201cbusiness in the front, party in the back\u201d sentiment of the mullet \u2014 also popular among the Persian populace.<\/p>\n
The approved styles have a distinctly 1950s look to them: short on the front and sides for the most part. But the gel-slathered, combed-back 1980s look also received the government\u2019s blessing.<\/p>\n
The \u201cIslamic\u201d haircuts were unveiled at the Hijab and Chastity Festival, a fashion event designed to show how the country\u2019s youth can be stylish yet not run afoul of the fashion police.<\/p>\n
\u201cHair styles have been designed based on the shape of the neck, beard, the size of the chin and provincial cultures,\u201d said Jaleh Khodayar, the secretary of the festival. Her comments were reported by the semiofficial Mehr news agency.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
