Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the Internet. I am your host, Rebecca
Felgate and today we are talking about the Top 10 Illegal Haircuts Around The World….that’s
right, some places have a lot of strong feelings about your mop tops….so much so they have
made laws about them. My question is …do Governments have any right to decide what
you do with your hair? Ovbiously to me the answer is no… but let me know what you think
in the comments section down below. Also, if you like our videos please do leave

10 - ALL Haircuts for Ladies in Wisconsin This is one of those ridiculous outdated laws
that hasn’t been changed in hundreds of years, but in Wisconsin it is illegal to cut
a ladies hair. Ps and by the way, margarine also used to be illegal in the state. Sure.
9 - Mullets Uh oh, someone tell my ex boyfriend he isn’t
allowed in Iran. That boy loved his mullet more than me. So yeah, as recently as 2010,
Iran has had a strict no mullet policy! The Muslim country is anti any kind of Western
hair…specifically 80s/ 90s Western Hair it seems!
Another from Iran’s crackdown at number 8 we have Gelled Hair!
Not only is Iran anti Mullet, it is anti hair jell. Why? Well because it makes you a gay
devil worshipper, allegedly. Mostafa Govahi, the head of Iran’s barbers’ union, yes
they have one, that gell is no longer permitted. He seemed to think that Western hair styles
and products violate Islam in some way.
7 - Meet Me At McDonalds Wait… that is a haircut? What on earth?
A school in Norfolk, England, banned something called the Meet Me At McDonalds hair…coining
the now somewhat infamous term. Basically it is shaved sides and a mop top – vis a
vis the following…. Anyway, not illegal in life, but illegal if school rules can be
considered laws! A lot of schools across the UK have followed Great Yarmouth Charter Academy
in banning the hair.
Kids simply cannot have quote un quote Unusual haircuts in Mesquite, Texas – that is coming
in to number 6 Very vague! What is an unusual haircut? I
have no idea, but kids in Mesquite Texas might be able to tell me. Boys are expected to keep
their hair groomed and above their ears. Right.
5 - Emo Fringe in Russia I don’t know if you were reading the headlines
in 2008, but there were a whole bunch of news stories about how Russia wants to ban being
Emo. If you don’t know what an emo traditionally looks like, here is a quick pick.
So Russia is not down with the emo fringe that, I quote, covers half the face, as law
makers think it encourages depression. Dmitry Gilevich of Russian emo band MAIO led protests,
saying: “Expressing psychological emotions is not forbidden by law.” At the moment
it is still legal, but who knows what will happen in Russia over the next few years!
4 - Hitler Moustache In Germany, Hitler style hair is illegal.
In fact, any Nazi imagery is illegal. In the popular game Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus,
Hitler was censored in Germany by removing the characters moustache. I am not sure whether
or not the law is fully enforceable on people who decide to grow the Hitler stash, but people
would be outraged. Hitler hairdo...karma police anyone?
3 - Hair past the shoulder In North Korea, it is illegal to have hair
longer than shoulder length for a female. In fact any haircut that isn’t shown on
this list of 15 state approved cuts is illegal. Most approved haircuts are short and modest.
Long straightened hair could land you in jail, or worse.
2 - Facial Hair is Illegal in North Korea. Of course, men are subject to the same scruitiny
when it comes to hair in North Korea. Get a load of these state approved gents cuts….
Ello ello ello. Lads lads lads. This is what you get if you want a North Korean beau….and
yes, facial hair is out of the question…. Meaning it is illegal not to shave….which
is absolutely insane. Personally, I like a floppy haired man with a nice beard….so….
I don’t think I’ll be looking for love in the Hermit State any time soon!
But wait, this may shock you at number one…. In North Korea, it is illegal to have Kim
Jong Un’s Haircut Funnily enough, North Koreans CANNOT get a
hairdo to look like their overlord, Kim Jong Un! It is FORBIDDEN. Kimmy boy doesn’t want
anyone to replicate his locks. He wants to be the one and only sporting that bold look.
Of course across the rest of the world it isn’t illegal persay, but it is a crime
against…hair…and face framing?! So, that was the Top 10 Illegal Haircuts across
the world….are you sporting any of these dos? Let me know….Also if you could have
any haircut for a day…what you go for…. I’d have 80s Tina Tina hair …..simply
the best ! Thanks for watching, I am Rebecca Felgate.
