Good Hair

Actor/Comedian Chris Rock recently became a popular topic in pop culture. He released his documentary, "Good Hair." This documentary was about hair in the African-American community. Hair is huge topic in the Black community. The emphasis is always on "good hair," and yes--there can be "bad hair"

Hair in the Black community is used to distinguish beauty. The smoother,more refined your hair is, the more beautiful you are. Rock's documentary delves into the basis of this mindset. Where did originate from and who made it ok the believe this? He ties in pop culture and current Black celebrities and interviews them on their take of "good hair."

I praise Rock for this documentary. For such an important topic in the African-American culture, it has rarely been talked about and really explored.
