Just saw Good Hair, Chris Rock’s new documentary about the black hair industry and it’s massive global presence. I almost fell out my seat laughing several times. You get to see Al Sharpton back when he was fat and relaxing his hair alongside James Brown; you also get to follow Chris Rock to India to see where all those beautiful weaves really come from (before the bugs get cleaned out!). It’s not stylistically groundbreaking, but it is incredibly informative and entertaining at once. Watch the trailer below and catch it at Union Square or 34th st. . .
I’ve also included this ridiculous adventure to the hair show, which is not as good as Good Hair but still pretty crucial. Why our loyal host(ess) didn’t feel the need to come a little harder on her own look is a mystery . . . but in any event the rest of the characters are worth watching (Colors?! “Beeeeeep Emergency Landing!”). Enjoy and comment!
