Good Hair Trailer


Chris Rock has created a film centered on the black hair business.
For people not in the know...this is a 9 billion(yes...I did write billon) dollar business. I have many friends who invest serious coin in relaxers and weaves. I hear the term "good hair" tossed around a lot. This film serves a very important message underneath all the laughter. Mr Rock has created a wonderful gift to his daughter and to other young girls. This is just awesome.
If this film comes to your town...go see it!

It does look hilarious(This will last Prince a month) but the message will be powerful.
I love that he did this for his daughter. It is the best gift.

When I heard about it at Sundance I knew I couldn't wait to see it. I'll definitely go as soon as it comes out and as a young black woman whose had a relaxer to straighten her hair since she was 3, I know how bit the black hair industry can be!

DWJ: I know that I had no clue on how expensive and labor intensive it was for perms and weaves. My friends have opened my eyes.

I think the part that got me is when his daughter asked why she did not have good hair.
That broke my heart.

Please take a moment to check out my documentary film BLACK HAIR

It is free at youtube. 6 parts including an update from London, England.

It explores the Korean Take-over of the Black Beauty Supply and Hair biz..

The current situation makes it hard to believe that Madame C.J. Walker once ran the whole thing.

I am not a hater, I am a motivator.

Plus I am a White guy who stumbled upon this, and felt it was so wrong I had to make a film about it.

self-funded film, made from the heart.

Can it be taken back?
