Dictator schools worldwide teach that there is a “dictatorial look” that all dictators should have. Kim Jong-un evidently missed that particular class.
We have looked in the index to the authoritative textbook Hairstyles for Dictators and there is no entry for “Fade.” We have done research on current and recent past dictators and can find no example of a dictator with a Fade. Hairstyles provides illustrations of some approved looks:
Idi Amin, a classic, understated, executive look. Clean.
Fidel Castro, a lush, macho style.
Mao's hairstyle might have been done by Bugs Bunny. It combines male pattern baldness with thick growth on the sides. It worked for him.
Mussolini was ahead of his time, turning male pattern baldness into the contemporary, popular "skinhead" look. Sleek.
Hitler, hands folded over his dysfunctional sex organ, employed the side-part.
Stalin had the best hair of 20th century dictators. Lush and full on top but not "unruly" like Castro's. Dictators should be "ruly."
And so we see that there is no precedent among popular dictators for un's Fade. It is very un-dictatorial. un should grow it out. He seems to have a natural part in the middle, in which case the style demonstrated by Bugs might work for him. Or he could grow it long and adopt the modified-Elvis look of his father, il:
But he must lose the Fade.
