Bad Hijab

"Get a haircut!" takes on new meaning in Iran.  The country's "Culture Ministry has now banned a number of 'decadent Western cuts' and issued a catalogue of permissible hairdos from which male salon-goers must choose."

The intention is to cut down on "bad hijab" which is considered a threat to Islamic principles.

The most popular cuts?  The Khomeini and the Mahmoud.
