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!

This does look amazing... funny, but with a lot to think about... and guest appearances from Maya Angelou to Ice-T!! lol!
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?
