If you have spiky hair and intend to visit Dubai, read this first [1]: “One of my friend's cousins was recently pulled aside by Dubai Police at Mall of the Emirates. He had a spiky hair style. They asked him to wash his hairstyle out, he told them that he wasn’t going to and they took him to the police station, filled out an incident form and sent him home. If he is caught again he will be fined / arrested and I can only assume he will have a criminal record over a hair style,” samuraisam said.
