Chris Rock in Good Hair
Chris Rock's latest movie 'Good Hair' is due in cinemas this Friday the 25th June,2010. In this movie 'Good Hair', Chris sets out to explore the historically fraught concept of "good hair," which for Afro Americans burdened by the twin legacies of slavery and racism has traditionally been defined as hair more like white peoples hair. "Do black women", he wonders, "spend countless hours and hundreds of dollars on hair products and in hair salons to make their hair straighter and silkier because they want to look white?
The movie manages to be at once funny, fascinating and heartbreaking. But it also has spurred unprecedented conversations among whites and blacks about hair.
Mr Chris Rock said he was surprised by what he discovered about ladies and their hair. "I knew women wanted to be beautiful, but I didn't know the lengths they would go to, the time they would spend and not complain about it," he said. "In fact, they appear to look forward to it."
Chris Rock said in the voice-over that he decided to investigate the meaning of good hair after his little daughter asked him one day, "Daddy, why don't I have good hair?"
So he decided to visit hair salons, where women got their heads slathered with chemicals to "relax," or straighten, their hair. He watches as they sit for hours getting their hair braided or a "weave" of hair extensions that can cost 1,000.
