and I have to say, I'm not mad at it. Full disclosure here: I'm not a big Chris Rock fan. He comes off as self-hating and coonish to me at times and I fully expected to hate this movie. I went in expecting to be ridiculed and offended and I wasn't. Good Hair, simply put, was good. I don't want to give away too much, but Good Hair brought to light some really important aspects of black hair care, like how outside of owning and running salons, Black people aren't the ones making the real money off Black hair. Good Hair won't make you hate your weave or feel ashamed of it, but it might make you want to take it out. Does that make sense? You'll just have to see it to understand what I mean, but I give it two thumbs up.
