Iran bans the mullet in order to free itself of ‘decadent’ Western hairstyles:
Jaleh Khodayar, who’s in charge of the government- backed Modesty and Veil Festival, explains that the styles “are inspired by Iranians’ complexion, culture and religion, and Islamic law.”
It’s not all good news for fans of the short back and sides, however: 1980s-style floppy fringes are acceptable, as are quiffs. And, worryingly, there seems to be a lamentable softening of Iran’s hard line on goatees.)
