"Good" Hair(?)


Chris Rock's new movie "Good Hair" is sparking discussions about the concept and pursuit of "good" hair in the African-American community.

Rock's inspiration came from a question posed by his young daughters: "Daddy, why don't I have good hair?"

It explores the issues of race and social standards of beauty (particularly in the media and the entertainment industry).

Relaxers ("creamy crack"), weaves (that can cost up to $1,000 each), and hair imported from India are just some of the secrets that are revealed in this documentary - that some are none to happy about.

What's your hair/beauty secret? Would you be unhappy if it were exposed?
