Good Hair Trailer (15) When Chris Rock's daughter, Lola, came up
to him crying and asked, Daddy, how come I
don't have good hair? the bewildered comic
committed himself to search the ends of
the earth and the depths of black culture
to find out who had put that question into
his little girl's head! Good Hair visits
hair salons and styling battles,
scientific laboratories, and Indian
temples to explore the way black
hairstyles impact the activities,
pocketbooks, sexual relationships, and
self-esteem of black people. Celebrities
such as Ice-T, Kerry Washington, Nia Long,
Paul Mooney, Raven Symone, Maya Angelou,
and Reverend Al Sharpton all candidly
offer their stories and observations to
Rock while he struggles with the task of
figuring out how to respond to his
daughter's question. What he discovers is
that black hair is a big business that
doesn't always benefit the black community
and little Lolas question might well be
bigger than his ability to convince her
that the stuff on top of her head is
nowhere near as important as what is
inside.
