In an upcoming documentary, Chris Rock takes aim at one of the most divisive topics in the black community – “good hair”.
Here’s an excerpt from Access Atlanta, who did a story on the film:
The idea first hit Rock in the mid-1990s on a standup tour through Atlanta, where he came across the Bronner brothers hair show, a glitzy convention for black stylists.
“I thought, wow, this would make a great movie, but that was like 15 years ago, and no one was making funny documentaries 15 years ago,” Rock said in an interview Tuesday alongside Nia Long, one of many actresses and other celebrities Rock interviews in the film.
“So you cut to now, and I have daughters, and I’m really dealing with them and their hair a lot, and my friends have daughters, and we talk about our daughters’ hair issues. I kind of saw where to go at it, and now people are making funny documentaries,” he said.
Black hair is certainly big business, and this film will likely gain popularity quickly, as well as spark many less-than-friendly conversations on the good and the bad of nappiness.
