Tracing the natural curves of the Tunu™ rubber tree with his machete, a Tawira native skillfully carves his pattern into the latex-rich bark to extract a precious natural resource that has shaped the experience and survival of an ancient rainforest culture. The "tears" that travel along its lines inspired the Tawira to name this "the crying tree."

Natural latex, skillfully extracted from the bark of the Tunu™ rubber tree in the Mosquitia rainforest, has been prized for centuries by the region's native Tawira for its unique ability to provide a strong, flexible, cohesive moisture barrier. In a region of heavy rainfalls and river transport, latex rubber has been an indispensable natural resource that has touched all aspects of native life from the waterproofing of ponchos and food sacs to use as a hair styling aid by the tribe renowned as "the people of beautiful hair."™

Adds incredible fullness, control and shine with a flexible hold to any hair type.
