Review of Good Hair (2009) by Tdog D — 08 Jan 2017

A rather insightful documentary narrated by Chris Rock.

This shows a fascinating analyzation of hair and how it creates dissension within the black community.

What most people don't know is that the hair culture is a billion dollar industry; it employs many black men and women, other parts of the world like India give it away because of religious reasons, and you can actually get an education from it all.

It's mainly popular with Asians and African Americans so there's also a lot of things people don't consider when it comes to black womens' hair.

It's true that it costs money, it can or cant be a part of intimacy, women will always point fingers at one another as to how they should look or appear to everyone else.

There's also the health risks involved from using certain chemicals in the follicles to how old you should be taking care of your hair.

Chris Rock is hilarious going from interviewee to interviewee trying to understand how he should tell his own kids what their hair means to them.

Great questions and answers from Eve to Nia Long to Meagan Goode to Ice-T to T-Pain to Al Sharpton to Salt-n-Pepa to Raven Simone to Lauren London.

It's very different for black men and black women to maintain their own hair styles but they do so to the best of their abilities to make a living and spread more about the culture most overlook.

Odd but interesting documentary.
