IMAGINE if your future depended on having perfect hair. For teenage boys in the Huli culture, it does.
Members of this remote tribe believe that hair is a symbol of health and strength for men. Wearing elaborate
wigs made from their own locks earns the respect of their tribe. So to Huli males, nothing is more important
than growing great hair.
A HIDDEN TRIBE
The Huli live deep in the rain forest of Papua New Guinea—an island nation north of Australia. They
remained unknown to the outside world until the 1930s, when a gold rush brought Western explorers to their home.
Today about 70,000 people make up the Huli tribe, most still following their traditional way of life.
