The film is a documentary about African American women’s hair, and the struggle to have what is referred to as “good hair.” He did a lot of research and went many places including beauty salons, hair styling conventions, barber shops and even went to India, where many hair weaves are actually originate.

You’ll also see appearances made by Ice-T, Maya Angelou, Paul Mooney, Raven-Symoné,  Nia Long, KRS-One, Salt-n-Pepa, Kerry Washington, Eve, Reverend Al Sharpton, and Meagan Good.

They speak about their hair and experiences related to hair in the African American community. He also interviews hair stylists, product consumers and people in the hair industry.

Rock was slammed with a lawsuit filed by a woman named Regina Kimbell who says that his film is an infringement on her documentary My Nappy Roots: A Journey Through Black Hair-itage. She supposedly screened it for him in 2007.

I looks like an interesting documentary definitely worth watching. Coming from African American heritage, I definitely know the struggle of trying to have what people think is “good hair”! You can watch the movie on DVD now.
