Chris Rock has two young daughters Lola and Zahra. One day, Lola asks why she doesn't have good hair. Chris goes into a funny in-depth dive into the world of black people's hair. It's a hidden world for most non-blacks and this is informative. The interview with the white chemistry professor is funny when he asks why black people put sodium hydroxide in their hair. Rock could have had more white people interviews. He follows some of the competitors in the Bronner Bros Hair Battle. His wit is great and he's able to also deal with the material seriously. This is very much right up his alley. It's fun and ultimately has a point to make.

I had no idea that this was a documentary and bought it since it said "hillarious" on the DVD cover and because Chris Rock usually makes good comedies. But this turned out to be a documentary about something I have absolutely no interest in.

It was a struggle to sit through "Good Hair" and watch people talk about something with no meaning to me whatsoever. How can people be so self-centered and vain as to pay several thousands of dollars on hair, when there is so many wrong things in the world?

"Good Hair" is like a Halloween ride of shallow caricatures of people who has no sense of reality.

This is the worst $2 I have ever wasted on a DVD. It is rubbing from start to end. I managed to suffer through it to the end, and now that I have seen it, I will never make a return trip to watch this movie or any contents on the disc ever again.

Good Hair is a breezy, light hearted film regarding hair and the female black community presented by Chris Rock.

Apparently Rock was inspired to make the film when his daughter asked him about his good hair which means hair that is not natural to black African American community. Its straightened using relaxant which is in fact dangerous chemicals that can cause burns if its left in the hair for too long. Then there are weaves, which is a wig sewn on to the hair.

This is a multi billion dollar industry. A lot of the money does not end up in the black community even though some people pay outlandish prices for a good weave.

Along the way Rock also talks to celebrities about having good hair including Maya Angelou, Ice T, Nia Long, Al Sharpton, Raven. I never really knew about relaxant until I saw Spike Lee's X when Denzel Washington was using it in the film and the movie never really gets to grip why men straighten their hair. Frankly to show that they have hair like white people.

Its something Rock could had asked Reverend Sharpton who famously in the 1980s was caught by the press having his hair relaxed by expensive barbers and Sharpton instead of being embarrassed just told the press, come and see how a real man gets his hair done!

The documentary is entertaining and diverting but lacked depth. Rock is genial and engaging.
