Good Hair Reviews

I gave this movie 2 stars because although it was comedic, I totally agree with "artgirl20027's comments. Seems that too much emphasis is... d on where african american women "get their money" to improve on their looks. There was no truth of african american women relaxing / perming their infant/ toddlers' hair. This was an untruth and a ploy to boost movie ratings and place more $ in the producers and celebrities's pockets. Perhaps more emphasis should be placed on why so many high-powerd US Congressman are being paid such high salaries for minimal work. I would suggest that the producers of this movie research their facts more by beginning with how Congress sets laws and how they effect each diverse community in every state (i.e. the rich get richer & the poor get poorer). People with glas houses shouldn't throw stones. Work together - not against people... Full Review

What was the point of this documentary again? Everyone has vanity issues of some sort, both men and women and hair is just one of them. Whether it... air, botox, cosmetic surgery or tanning salons..a lot of money is being spent on trying to look ones best. Full Review

This was a really good movie. It was entertaining, informative and said some really important things in a funny yet subtle way. Some things that were... revealed, hopefully will just the eye opener that is needed to make some changes in the way people think about hair and themselves. I only gave it 4 stars because I think there was too much on the hair show (which was utter nonsense) - more real person interviews would have been great. Good job for Chris Rock. This one is a winner. Full Review

"when you think about how black people often cry about exploitation" News flash: slavery was, and the contemporary aftermath of it is, by... it's very definition, exploitive. no ones "crying" about anything.. Read YOUR OWN US history, because it sounds like you don't know. "THEY are paying thousands to wear the hair of other poor people" (capitals mine) What's with the "THEY" anyway? Newsflash: Um. hate to Wreck your belief system/fantasy, but not all Black people are poor. But you hold onto that. Sounds like you probably need it. "I would like to know where some of THEM get this kind of money" (capitals mine) Newsflash: Hm. let's see. Maybe some of THEM have JOBS. In any case, why are you so concerned where someone else gets THEIR money to do whatever THEY want to do? I don't look at tanning addicts, women with boob jobs, lip injections/butt implants or crystal meth addicts and worry about "where THEY get the money". You'd do better to spend some time trying to educate yourself about what you're ignorant of. And yes, it may just take a lifetime. Full Review

Chris Rock rocks! A great documentary. Insightful, humorous, a good lesson on the art and business of black hair. Hopefully the follow-up will... e opinions by India.Arie ("I Am Not My Hair") and others who prefer alternatives (e.g. short hair and dreadlocks) as their fashion statement. Also, a history on the social visits of women to a hairdresser's home with her jar of Posner, of hot combs and curling irons heated on the stove, smoking up the kitchen. Next time maybe...?
