NEKESA'S HAIR BEAUTY MEMOIRS

Chris Rock Releases Documentary Called 'Good Hair'

Working on a project that took two years in the making, actor and comedian Chris Rock has completed a controversial documentary called “Good Hair” that uproots the inter-workings of the $9 billion dollar African-American hair industry.

Inspired by what he calls his youngest daughter's “hair envy,” or uneasiness with her naturally curly hair, Rock has set out to discover the power and politics around African-Americans and their hair, according to the Wall Street Journal. Rock traveled across the country from beauty salons to barbershops to hair chemical factories interviewing ordinary people and celebrities about the political implications that our hair has had in the community.—QS

I am so interested in seeing this documentary. My friend Tavia has a hair documentary called "How we livin in Hair". This video was based on the lifestyles of hairstylist and what inspires them. I thought of creating a documentary about African American hair and the women who wear it. I will keep you posted but in the meanwhile check out Mr. Rock's discovery on Hair.There is enough room for everyone...but I do know when one has an idea 50 other people have the same idea, it is about who executes it first.

Until Later Nekesa
