Good Hair

Chris Rock explores the complexities of good hair, as defined by Black Americans, particularly Black women. He delves into the annual Bronner Brothers' hair convention in Atlanta, examining the use of sodium hydroxide in hair relaxers. Rock also travels to India, where he discovers the origins of the hair sold in America, including tonsure ceremonies. He questions the high cost of weaves and who profits from them. The documentary highlights the significance of salons and barbershops in Black communities, where men are often prohibited from touching their partners' hair, considering it a decorative aspect. Featuring insights from various individuals, including Maya Angelou and Tracie Thoms, the film ultimately explores the connection between self-image and good hair.
