Spoiler Alert! Don't read past the first paragraph if you haven't watched the movie yet. :PI just watched Chris Rock's "Good Hair" movie Saturday, and I had mixed feelings. I appreciated that he showed the harmfulness of the ingredients of relaxers and the ridiculous amounts of money women are willing to spend on weave.
I found out some things I didn't know. I had no idea that the "100% human hair" was coming from Hindu temples in India when women would get shaved bald as part of a sacrifice. I thought it was very sad that these women had no idea their hair was being sold for thousands of dollars to women who don't realize they could grow their own. The Bronners' hair show and battles were ridiculous, and it made me upset that these people could get $20,000 for that mess.
Tracie Thoms-- (interviewes in "Good Hair")I liked that a few naturals were able to be interviewed, but I don't think we heard enough from them. I wished there was more discussion about how "coarse" hair actually is manageable and can be very healthy and long.
I applaud Chris Rock for researching and putting this movie out there.
