There is no problem with advertising domestic hairstyles but it is a personal matter. It depends on the person's taste and personality.

SOUNDBITE: (Farsi) Saman, no last name given, famous barber and hairstylist working in northern Tehran: "The newly offered haircuts (approved by Iran's Culture Ministry) should be more attractive to young people and we, barbers, should be able to perform them with diversity too. The hairstyles have got to be consistent with Iranian culture and styles and be modern and up to date at the same time. Not too classic and old and not a total following of European and Western styles which I am opposed to." 14. Pan of magazines in front of newsstand 15.

Mid of Ahmadinejad and Mugabe STORYLINE An Iranian fashion organisation has issued a new list of culturally appropriate haircuts for men, possibly indicating a new crackdown on male attire after years of strict rules for women, Iranian media reported. Although the Ministry of Culture has yet to officially adopt the styles presented by the Veil and Modesty Festival, the private organisation said approval was pending. It would be the first such rules for men's hair styles since 1979 Islamic Revolution. Clothing and hair styles have become a highly visible political statement in Iran since the first stirrings of the reform movement in the late 1990s. Many young women have tested authorities by allowing more hair to spill out from under their head scarves and wearing shorter and tighter coverings. Some men, too, push boundaries with earrings and long hair and ponytails. Even shaving habits can take on broader overtones. Beards or heavy facial stubble - worn by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other officials - are considered signs of religious piety and loyalty to the ruling clerics. But many men, including opposition activists, adopt a clean-shaven look. None of the models shown wearing the shorter styles wore religious beards, however, perhaps as a way of appealing to less pious Iranians. In posters presenting the new hairstyles, models' locks were cut in fashionable short bobs, varying styles for different hair textures from curly to straight. The group says the styles will be modified for Iran's provinces based on regional culture and the models will be displayed in barber shops for visibility.
