4.0 out of 5 stars Funny 8 Feb 2011
By Helga Patricia Vieira
Format:DVD
It's a great look at Afr. American women's relationship with their hair, and how the hair products industry has grown and is constantl in demand. It's got the Chris Rock touch so it's obviously funny. I learned a few things: that you can never touch a black girl's weave/hair, that most hair comes from an Indian temple, and that girls as young as 3 or 4 are already relaxing their hair. Good movie/docu, great value!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good eye opener... 27 Jun 2011
By T. Laindon
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This dvd is good eye opener as to the amount of monet unscrupulous business men and women making so much off the backs of unknowledgeable people. It is indeed an eye opener to me and my family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! 27 July 2010
By Big Bird
Format:DVD
The documentary was revealing interesting and funny. It made me sit up and think and then rethink what I was doing to my hair. Relaxing afro hair isn't all about wanting 'good hair', but about wanting hair that's manageable. I'm reluctant to continue relaxing my hair because it does a lot of damage, but whilst there's lots of choice as to what to do with relaxed hair and weaves, options for natural hair are limited and it's true that people's perception of you change according to your looks. I remember taking the elevator at work every day with a guy who never gave me a second look, but on the day I stepped into that elevator with a shoulder length weave, I got noticed! Shame really because I was the same person underneath that weave as I was with the short nappy hair.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Try, But.... 24 Oct 2010
By E. Lee
Format:DVD
Chris Rock's attempt to create a "comedy documentation" on this most sensitive of issues brings in the sympathetic head-nods and occasional laughs but fails to convey the social historic context of his chosen subject.

Throughout the film, various Black celebrities (Nia Long, Maya Angelou, Ice-t, among others) candidly shares their experiences concerning African-textured hair. Rounding this off is a demonstration of the damaging effects from using sodium-hydroxide based relaxers, as well as an eye-opening journey to India, where Chris Rock goes behind the scenes of the hair trade market. But Mr. Rock also wastes valuable footage in showing a hair show contest - which, in my opinion- adds little to the film.

Sadly, Chris Rock doesn't address the origins of the demonizing term "Good Hair". He also completely fails to mention the most famous pioneer in the entire history of Black hair: Madame C.J. Walker.

Can't recommend this documentary enough. Great doc at looking at the great lengths black people go through to have 'good hair.'
Chris Rock is great as interviewer and narrator.
Very thought provoking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, funny and sad 31 Dec 2011
By P
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This film was much better than I expected in that the humour didn't obscure the tradegy of the subject matter. It is very informative and illustrates how shallow we can all be, so sad. You would think that people had better things to spend their money on than other peoples dirty old discarded hair, Yuck!

I guess It did what it said on the box; it was funny (in places) and (kind of) fascinating, but I really didn't hear anything totally new to me. Read more

This movie is so true, however I think people should just embrace the hair their t born with rather than putting other peoples hair on their head.
