Good Hair Movie Review
Written by Samara on November 20, 2009With all the planning of my wedding(which will be on the day this article is published) I was finally able to sneak out and see the “Good Hair” movie produced by Chris Rock where his daughter questioned him to why she didn’t have good hair. The movie was educational to women whom are ignorant to some of the effects of chemicals and how the black haircare industry is operating, but it wasn’t what I expected at all.
When I think of “Good Hair”, I was expecting to see a movie discussing how women strive to have the so-called “good curly hair”. I thought this movie was going to be about how black women teach their daughters that their hair is “bad” or “inferior” to other hair types. Instead this movie focused more on the use of hair relaxers and weaves.
I did learn some new information when it comes to where the human hair women sew, glue, and braid into their hair come from, and from what I learned, I won’t be purchasing human hair ever again. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t get braids and weaves. This is totally your choice, just like it’s my own personal choice not to wear human hair weave.
The movie did not explore the world of natural hair at all. There was one actor whom was natural, but little was really said about embracing your own natural texture. I was pretty disappointed by the lack of this knowledge in the movie.
The movie revolved around the Bronner Brothers Hair Show which to me served as mere entertainment instead of education. The grand finale of the movie so to speak.
Overall, it was a pretty good movie and it’s worth seeing if you haven’t already. I would recommend this movie to all black women, especially if you’re relaxed.
