Former Indian President Kalam was very particular about his hair

When late APJ Abdul Kalam took office as India’s President in 2002, many politicians, leaders were of the opinion that if he cut his hair, he would look much better.
But, the apolitical President was quite vain about his silver locks.
His haircut, which became famous as ‘Kalam cut’, according to a news report of 2002, did not even please some parliamentarians.
"My hair grows and grows, you cannot stop it - that fellow grows, it grows wild," the bachelor President once told a bemused interviewer.
Kalam was also known for abandoning important conferences abruptly, only to return after an hour which he spent on his hair, making them look slick.
Reportedly, he also had his hair trimmed every quarter.
"He preens himself before the mirror before venturing out and often pulls a comb from his pocket and runs it lovingly through his hair,” a DRDO official had told Telegraph in 2002.
Kalam passed away on July 27 in Shillong at a hospital at the age of 83. He began his life as a newspaper seller and went on to become the ‘Missile Man’ of India.
