The 92-year-old added that he cannot dare use a comb to straighten, detangle or style his tresses because it goes against his seven gods and nine powers.
The Vietnamese national revealed back when he was in school, management asked him to cut off his hair and since that went against his faith, he left and never looked back.
At some point in his life, Van had nice thick hair that had a fine black colour. He would comb it whenever he needed to look presentable.
