Iran Banned Mullets

In 2010, Iran released a list of hairstyles that were approved for people in their country. Unfortunately, the mullet was banned because it represented a decadent Western cut just like ponytails. And anyone who was seen walking around with a mullet were either harassed or arrested by authorities. In many cases, the individual was forced to undergo a haircut. While this rule might have seemed silly, it served as a reminder to the Iranian people that they needed to look over their shoulders to remember who was in charge.
