Black HairStory Film Series

“Good Hair” by Chris Rock

Funny, informative, and occasionally sad, Good Hair is a provocative look at the complex relationship between African Americans and their hair. Rock talks to a number of AfricanAmerican luminaries about their hair issues (including Maya Angelou, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Nia Long, Raven Symone, Ice-T, and Paul Mooney), researches the dangers of many common hair-straightening treatments, reveals the surprising expense of regular hair “relaxing” and weaves, and ponders what the pursuit of straight hair says about African-American cultural identity.
