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.

Great overview of the ethnic hair experience. Little known facts about the weave market, and the industries that support it are exposed, leaving th viewer to draw their own conclusions about the practices of black women and their hair. Chris Rock covered all aspects of the issue and highlighted some specific tonsurial artists during a hair show. These shows are a subculture unto themselves and can make you feel like you are in an altered state or another dimension. Loved the candor of the celebrities and salon customers, who gave their take on the subject. Great movie and would recommend it to a friend.

THIS MOVIE IS VERY EDUCATIONAL AND IT DEFINITELY HAS ITS FUNNY MOMENTS. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT WHAT IT TAKES TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR HAIR AND THEN THERE ARE THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT GO TO THE EXTREME AND FEEL THAT IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR HAIR, THAN TAKE CARE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES. THIS IS A FILM THAT NEEDS TO BE VIEWED BY ALL INDIVIDUALS.

This movie was funny yet very informative. With anything that makes money there is deception...had anyone ever wondered where all that expensive "100% Indian Hair" come from? Go see the movie!

Funny Real Informative Must See

After my best friend said she'd seen this movie TWICE, I knew I had to see it. This movie is funny and thought provoking in a way that only Chris Rock could make it. He likens the obsession many African American women have for permed hair to crack addiction which, sadly to me, is played out as a 4-year old girl is getting her hair permed -- again. How the Black hair care industry is a $9 billion industry but very little of it goes to Black owned manufacturers and companies. How, at the annual Bronner hair convention in Atlanta, GA, out of hundreds of attending vendors filling a convention floor only 2 aisles are Black owned manufacturers. To find out where human hair for wigs and extensions come from Chris traverses the globe. He interviews big and small screen divas, Rev. Al Sharpton, and everyday people in this amazing film. Whether you are Black, White, Latina or whatever, and whether you have hair or had hair, please see this film.
