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.

WHY aren't white men feeling the need to make a film on white women who get implants, injections, suntans, etc.?..and WHY just the focus on black women? Black men were perming it up since WAAAAY black..The only brotha you saw in the 40s, 50s, and early 60s that didn't conk-up was Sam Cooke..and in the 80s, more men than women were sporting the jheri curl..This could've been a great documentary if it came from someone who had a SINCERE concern for this issue, but Chris Rock is fullashit ..

@284436 I guess we would be more "respected" if we wore fake boobs more, got ass implants, and got lip injections ...Don't use that wak-ass excuse for not wanting to like black women ...cuz black men were perming it up since WAAAAY black (i.e., Nat King Cole) ...You didn't even see a brotha in the 40s, 50s, and early 60s that wasn't "conked" up ...and let's not even go into the 80s, and the jheri curl ...More men was sporting that than females

One of the things I didn't like about this movie is that it really only focuses on black women and their hair. Black men have hair, too, and their own unique stories that go along with it.
This documentary was entertaining, but fairly disappointing, and not as informative as it could have been.
-
I honestly straighten my hair cuz I don't know how to deal with it curly. Tonssss of work. but MAN I want to see this!
-
@lentejTV9 so it's not "fuck black women", but "fuck the ideal that says you need to look white to be beautiful"

@xhappyrainbow Umm, I don't know whose viewpoint you're making this ridiculous comment from, Because I am a young black woman, and I sure am not at the bottom of any "totem pole". You need help. Go read a book, and maybe you'll come back with a more intelligent comment. Just becausse you lack in respect for yourself, doesn't mean the rest of us do. Just some words of advice. (:
