After the death of Mahsa Amini, Iranian women used cutting of their own hair as a protest against the treatment of women by The Islamic Republic of Iran.
Several cultures in Iran have a mourning ritual in which women cut their own hair. In Persian culture, it is called Gisuborān, The Kurds call it Chamar, and The Bakhtiari call it Pal Borun. These rituals of mourning an elder, relative or a dear one have also a literary turn. Both in classical and contemporary Persian literature, cutting hair is a potent symbol of female sorrow.  

The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran seems to focus a lot on female hair. One might even call it an obsession. The hair of people who are presenting as female needs to be covered in public at all times so as not to create impure thoughts on men. Hair, in this context, has become sexually charged. You might even call it supercharged. A strand of hair might make men's sexual desires so great that a whole system might collapse. A woman who is not covering her hair does not keep her supercharge in check. 

So, by publicly exposing and cutting hair, women are highlighting and protesting a cultural norm. A cultural norm that is used by the state to control bodies in public spaces.

On October 23, 2022, Sasibe Samsaei, an Iranian woman living in Turkey, joined other women in this ritualistic act of cutting her hair outside the Iranian consulate in Istanbul.
