Do you have "good" hair?


In the African American community, we all have our own interpretation of good hair. I personally believe good hair is that unrelaxed hair where you can get it wet and it curls up and still shines. Others believe good hair is long, straight, natural, or whatever you consider good hair it is usually the opposite of the kind of hair you have yourself. This same question went through comedian and Producer Chris Rock's mind, when his daughter came home from school one and asked " Daddy,how come I don't have good hair?" In his new Sundance documentary Chris Rock goes into depth about hair culture and the business of hair; what good hair is, relaxers, weaves, and everything in between. Even "weave sex". He interviews people from the black hair salons in the US to the India where weave is one of their biggest exports...to Hollywood talking to celebs like Nia Long, Raven Simone', Megan Good, Lauren London and more. He traveled for two years doing work for this film, spending most of his time down south. From the previews I have seen it looks informative from a comedic standpoint. Can't wait to go see this when it hits theatres. Check out the trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m-4qxz08So.
