Review of Bad Hair (2020) by Donnathejnkdiva — 26 Oct 2020

The trailer for the movie Bad Hair had me ready for a horror/comedy movie in the vein of Get Out. Something to make you think and scare the bejesus out of you. I even waited until daylight so that the movie wouldn't give me bad dreams.

I was disappointed, I was not scared and it made me think....the trailer was better than the movie. I'll just say this: it is a movie about hair, behaving badly for no good reason (IMO). It is a movie about hating your hair and no proclamation of love at the end.

I thought that by the end of the movie everyone would have a big ole afro and be so in love with their hair that they would start a Black Hair Matters movement. Instead, by the end of the movie, no one had an afro (even the main character had hers covered), everyone was still trying to get a weave, all the natural sistahs were GONE, I mean like folk were dead and there was no mention of them.

So, to me this is how the movie should have ended: It was all a dream, she wakes up and appreciates her beautiful crown and walks into Vanessa Williams' office with her hair picked out the the biggest afro possible, and says "No you light skinded, green eyed heffa, I will not change my hair!" and her and all the natural sistahs in the office storm out and start their own company.
