When Chris Rocks daughter, Lola, came up to him crying and asked, Daddy, how come I don't have good hair? the bewildered comic committed himself to search the ends of the earth and the depths of black culture to find out who had put that question into his little girl's head! Director Jeff Stilsons camera followed the funnyman, and the result is Good Hair, a wonderfully insightful and entertaining, yet remarkably serious, documentary about African American hair culture.An exposé of comic proportions that only Chris Rock could pull off, Good Hair visits hair salons and styling battles, scientific laboratories, and Indian temples to explore the way black hairstyles impact the activities, pocketbooks, sexual relationships, and self-esteem of black people. Celebrities such as Ice-T, Kerry Washington, Nia Long, Paul Mooney, Raven Symoné, Maya Angelou, and Reverend Al Sharpton all candidly offer their stories and observations to Rock while he struggles with the task of figuring out how to respond to his daughters question. What he discovers is that black hair is a big business that doesnt always benefit the black community and little Lolas question might well be bigger than his ability to convince her that the stuff on top of her head is nowhere near as important as what is inside.

I think its funny when people say nappy hair is "bad hair" because if you read the bible Jesus had nappy hair LOL "hair like wool" I guess Jesus had "bad hair"
in every race; there're always a ulgy person in it. Most of the black I see in my cities are HOT.... But they're wlide. They're lookin for guys who have buns... WTF is buns?
My good hair, is NATURAL and nappy. Why do black women self-hate themselves. I'm sorry but as long as there is creamy crack in my head, I feel like I'm something I'm not. BLACK IS BEAUTY! HAHAHA! I hope many-more people feel this way. perms take away our powers.
everybody knows white women suck more dick out of any race, but!! do you see them making a movie about it? HELL NO, white men don't get on national tv or radio or any public access & put his women on front street. Black men, take a lesson from the white man. HE PROTECTS HIS WOMEN IMAGE AT ALL COST & would never make a fool out of her no matter how nasty he think she is.
