Imagine that your hairstyle is important for your future. For teenage boys in Papua New Guinea this is true! The Hulie people believe that beautiful hair shows a man is healthy and strong.. They respect men who wear wigs, so teenage Hulie boys have to grow great hair. With this hair, they make a wig that they can wear every day.
The Hulie live deep in the rain forest of Papua New Guinea. Before the 1930s, people from the outside world didn't even know about them. Today, there are about 70000 Hulie people, Most still follow their traditional way of life. The Hulie live in small villages, but families. do not live together. Women and small children live in one house and. men live together in another house. When boys are eight years old, they have to leave their mothers to live with their fathers.
Some Hulie children go to school to study reading and math. But after middle school. While teenage girls babysit their younger brothers and sisters, most teenage boys，to wig school. At wig school, they learn how to grow their hair and how to make wigs. The rules are pretty serious

When a Hulie teen wears his wig for the first time, he shows he is a man now, he can get married. To prepare, boys grow their hair for 18 months or longer. Then they cut it and use their own hair to make a mushroom-shaped wig. Later they grow their hair again for special wigs. These special wigs are for celebrations and festivals. Hulie men wear their mushroom-shaped wigs every day, but they like to be fashionable, too. To add style, they decorate their wigs with flowers and feathers.
