Storyline:
Chris Rock, a man with two daughters, asks about good hair, as defined by Black Americans, mostly Black women. He visits Bronner Brothers' annual hair convention in Atlanta. He tells us about sodium hydroxide, a toxin used to relax hair. He looks at weaves, and he travels to India where tonsure ceremonies produce much of the hair sold in America. A weave is expensive: he asks who makes the money. We visit salons and barbershops, central to the Black community. Rock asks men if they can touch their mates' hair - no, it's decoration. Various talking heads (many of them women with good hair) comment. It's about self image. Maya Angelou and Tracie Thoms provide perspective.

Chris was funny as usual. The movie was a disappointment. What I mean by that is Chris didn't explore the reasons why Black women consider our hair our crown and glory, only that we did. He left the audience with the feeling that we all want long, luxurious hair, but again, never discussed why, only that we did. Chris made a movie about weaves. I found it rather insulting that Chris did not go into the fact that all Black women do not wear weaves, nor did he ever address the fact that Black women can and do have long hair - we don't all wear weaves, nor do we all process our hair, and while I understand the purpose of the movie was to discuss Black women and their hair, it would have been nice if he did not leave the audience with the feeling that Black women corned the market on weaves and wigs. Our caucasian, Latino, and Asian sisters use extensions as well. Women accessorize!! I enjoyed the Chris's discussion on Oprah more than the movie. It was a lot more substanitive.

I found this documentary to be funny, yet well researched. It is a must see for EVERYONE struggling with poor self image. It really makes light of hair weaves and how women are spending so much money into something so mundane. I was surprised to learn the source of weaves. Yuck! Made me really think about where all that money could be going to improve our lives, eg. eating healthier food, paying for secular education or money towards home ownership. I have never worn a weave and never will! Glad this documentary highlighted the foolishness of vanity. Who better to do it than Chris Rock!

Chris Rock is hilarious as always, but he really takes this opportunity to educate viewers as well. It provides good insight on the things Black women do to their hair, but it probably would have been an even better HBO movie. If nothing else, I recommend people go to see this to support Rock in his efforts.

I give Chris Rock kudos for taking on such a touchy subject. He did a good job showing the various viewpoints and characters involved in this industry. The movie was funny, entertaining! and very informative! Others outside of the black community would find it entertaining as well. My only complaint is the use of adult language and images littered throughout the movie. This subject is one that I've often talked about to my young daughters. And they were looking forward to seeing the movie but because of the adult language and images that won't be possible. Chris and HBO productions missed the mark on this area because this would have been a movie that I reccommended to young girls. For future reference think of how many more lives you can impact through a little editing.
