Good Hair

documentary

Comedian Chris Rock takes us on a tour of the world of black women's hair. Some of this material is horrifying (relaxers), some is interesting (weaves), some is pretty funny and it all ends up at a bizarre competition in Atlanta where "star" hairdressers stage little shows and style hair on stage in front of an audience.

This was amusing and informative but there was an underlying aura of sadness at the self-loathing that forms the basis of this industry.
