Pyongyang, 19 April 2017 (MIA) - North Koreans have a choice of 15 state-approved haircuts, a journalist who has been given access to the country has claimed.

Illustrated guides have appeared in hair salons in the capital Pyongyang showing haircuts deemed acceptable.

Each is similar in style, with long hair definitely off the menu — but Kim Jong-un’s distinctive ‘do is no where to be seen.

Women, who are also afforded 15 different styles, according to images, have a little more choice.

In 2013, images of a haircut guide in North Korea circulated on the internet. The new styles, although similar, appear to be an update of these looks.

Dying your hair is apparently banned. sk/10:40
