A witty, investigative documentary that uses comedy and curiosity to examine how hair culture shapes identity, economics, and self-worth in Black communities.

An exposé of comic proportions that only Chris Rock could pull off, GOOD HAIR visits beauty salons and hairstyling battles, scientific laboratories and Indian temples to explore the way hairstyles impact the activities, pocketbooks, sexual relationships, and self-esteem of the black community.
