The PNG Huli men are said to be the fiercest warriors in the world. But they have a surprising soft side -- an obsession with hair. Boys spend years constructing elaborate wigs.
"It is very important for a young Huli boy to have a wig. That's why the boys go to wig school", explains Huli Harold Hayake. To grow strong, healthy hair, the young men live together in a monastic lifestyle under the guidance of a wig master. Only after their wig is ready can they marry.

The dispute rather they're African or not doesn't matter. So called Black people or the scientific term "negroid" people were the 1st people on the planet EVERYWHERE not just Africa. I am not a American, Australian, or African. I am Tiamat. Don't let the oppressor give you titles they created

huli wigmen are NOT the fiercest men in the world......they are just primitive and only pretend to be tough in numbers....they have no history...the alewai people from the central coast were once fierce and revered head hunters who sailed along the southern coast of PNG destroying villages and claiming many 'heads' as trophies as far back in the 1600s.
ol sa actin hadco nabaut, sapos ol stap wan wan, em bai ol nogat yah....
