Good Hair is a documentary film by Chris Rock, a man with two daughters, who explores the concept of good hair as defined by Black Americans, particularly Black women.
Rock visits the Bronner Brothers' annual hair convention in Atlanta, where he learns about the use of sodium hydroxide as a toxin to relax hair. He also delves into the world of weaves and travels to India to uncover the origins of much of the hair sold in America through tonsure ceremonies.
Throughout the film, Rock questions the expense of weaves and who ultimately profits from them. He also explores the significance of salons and barbershops in the Black community, where he asks men about their views on touching their partners' hair.
Various talking heads, including women with good hair, provide insights on the self-image associated with hair within the Black community. Notable figures such as Maya Angelou and Tracie Thoms offer their perspectives on the topic.
