Let's trim our hair in accordance with the socialist lifestyle[1] (alternatively translated as Let us trim our hair in accordance with Socialist lifestyle)[2] is a television program that was part of a North Korean government propaganda campaign promulgating grooming and dress standards in 2004–2005.[2]

It was broadcast on state-run Korean Central Television in the capital of Pyongyang and clips from the program were later rebroadcast on the British channel BBC One. The program claimed that hair length can affect human intelligence, in part because of the deprivation to the rest of the body of nutrients required for hair to grow.[1] However, although some researchers have proposed that brain and hair are in competition from an evolutionary standpoint,[3] cutting hair has no influence on its rate of growth.[4] It was part of a longstanding North Korean government restriction campaign against haircuts and fashions deemed at odds with "Socialist values".[2]
