Good Hair
The problem with having an ostentation hairdo is that birds always want to nest in it.
However, some of the women in this documentary wouldn't mind the feathered flare.
After his daughter asks him why she doesn't have "good hair", comedian Chris Rock decides to explore the hardships of having African-American hair, specifically for the female, which is tantamount to torture.
From expensive weaves to painful relaxers that chemically straighten hair for that Caucasian look, Rock talks to barbers, salon owners and noted celebrities (Eve, Ice-T, Maya Angelou, Al Sharpton, Nia Long, Raven-Symoné, Salt-n-Pepa) about their trials and tribulations in achieving "good hair".
By reinforcing that one's power comes from within not from up top, Rock successfully dissects the culturally complexities of "good hair" with comedic precision that's also highly educational to curious white viewers.
Nevertheless, no matter what type of hair you're born with, just pray it's not red.
