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.

And this is exactly why I am cutting off all my relaxed hair and going completely NATURAL from now on. Relaxers are TORTURE!!! They are sooo BADDD for your hair, just seeing what those chemicals did to that can, is just one more reason for me to run away from relaxers and get my big chop done QUICK! No more of this false reality that black people's hair is only "good" when it is straight or fake. We need to embrace our natural beauty and stop being brainwashed!

Saw this over the weekend - what an eye opener. Must say, even in the UK, most black women wear weaves etc. I often wondered why their hair had changed over the last decade or so - texture looking more like Indian hair or European hair. Where have these insecurities come from, that almost a whole group of women would want to wear someone else's human hair on their head? Natural black hair is beautiful and so versatile. The weaves and wigs look unrealistic, the thickness n length etc. Sad.

Have you been to every single country in Europe? What you are saying is not true at all, black people are usually not considered attractive in western countries, the black people we have in Europe are usuallyt straight from africa and are very dark, which is usually not very attractive to white people. Usually people are attracted to other people who have a similar genetic code with a different immune system, that´s one reason that has been proven at least.

I love my hair, its so straight, long and silky and shiny. I couldnt imagine having to dedicate my life to wigs, weaves or relaxer it just seems so annoying and high maintenance. Black people are so beautiful with their natural hair, its really sad that everything black is made out to be ugly in the United States. Here in Europe, "land of the white man" Black people are considered extremely beautiful without having to do anything to their hair.

Thickness and length have nothing to do with one's race or ethnicity. Also, if one chooses to wear a weave, it's not necessarily because they're insecure. My final point to be made is that a black person can have a hair texture that reflects a lot of light when straightened. You will find black people with all sorts of textures, from loose and curly to kinky and fluffy. I'm so tired of people trying to stick black women into one box. We do what we do for the same reasons as any other race.

So glad that you have finally realized that natural hair is beautiful. :) ~♥

[shutupimhungry]

that is so true. It took me a long time to realize that natural hair is okay and beautiful.

[riggs20]

Even among white people, hair is considered to be "better" if it is long and straight. Most of us white chicks have wavy hair, but we rarely wear it natural. I just watched the movie "The Help," and I noticed that about the white character "Skeeter." She had "naturally" curly hair, but when she was went out or got dressed up or was supposed to look pretty, she straightened her hair. Kind of sad.

...healthier than relaxed, but if the person who is relaxed takes better care of their hair than the person who is natural, than the relaxed head will most likelyl have healthier, "better" hair. good hair is healthy hair that suits you. no need to get so...!!!??? when faced with a person with a different, unfamiliar view. ^^'
