Hay began to let his hair grow some-more than 50 years ago since he mostly got ill after a haircut, the Vietnam News quoted his wife, Nguyen Thi Hoa, as saying.

Media reports pronounced he lived a elementary hold up as a herbalist, but his hair could mystify things. Reports pronounced no motorcycle cab would lift him since he could not wear a helmet. In the daytime he offset his hair on his head similar to a basket, stable by a scarf.

Hay, whose hair weighed multiform pounds, died at home Wednesday in the southern range of Kien Giang at the age of 79, Vietnam News said.
