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

These are the stories of my lifelong journey for "good" hair.Black men like straight hair, permed hair, relaxed. It doesn't matter if it's your own or some lady's from China. White men dig the roots, the natural look, even the braid.I'm a Black woman and these are my hair confessions. So maybe not all Black men, and maybe not all white men are as I've described, only all the ones I know. The only exception to my full-proof rule are mixed guys or those Black men with a vanilla latte hue. You never know what type of request you'll get from those guys. I should know...My hair. I've had:Jheri curl, s-curl, asymmetrical cut, braids, micro and big, so much color, that I am not even sure what my natural color is exactly; weaves, long ones short ones, light brown, black, wigs and of course, my most loyal friend, RELAXER!
Olive's, Danny's His and Hers in Boston, Helen's Hairum in Springfield, Barry Fletcher and the Hair Gangsters in Maryland, the Haitian hair salon in Tampa where you can have "NO perm" and they'll blow dry your hair so straight people will swear your momma is Indian. There's Neeko (hands down the best to ever pick up a curling iron or scissors), this man can color and relax your hair in the same day and you won't be screaming, except to say "damn I'm fly!"
I'm sure I've paid for a few cars, diamond rings, down payments on houses with all the money I spent on my do.
My momma has curly do anything hair. I, unfortunately, did not get those blessed genes. Thanks mom!
I've owned curling irons, but it was merely for show, or for my friends who would stop by and ask if I, a black woman, had a curling iron. I always did, but they never understood the absurdity of their question. These hot iron curling tools mainly sit at the bottom of a drawer, collecting dust, on stand-by, waiting to be used.
I used to be one of those "regulars", "every week" type of girls.

This is a story tht I found very interesting . How many on you can relate?

February Flew By

Well I am back and ready to inform you all about Hair, Beauty and Product.

Style Options for Natural Hair

I wanted to post these photos because I truely am using my new camera with my clients but I still have so many hair pics.So if you are looking for a style and you hair is short and you knew it could not be braided...here is the proof.Also is you have Two Strand Twist you can pizazz them up by rodding them. And you will see I love hair swept to the side so that is a great option for those who want to change up that same routine twist.

More Hair ...until next time

I am so pleased to announce that I will be produce and present a program at Spelman College in April at the Spelman Fine Art Museum.The piece I am presenting is called The Art and History of Hair 101. It will represent hairstyles from Ancient Egyptian times to the present time. So stay posted for the exact show dates.

When it comes to natural hair the misconception is that natural hair is suppose to look a certain way.But natural hair is basically just healthy hair!You will be surprised the styles that I create with my natural hair clients.Stay tuned to this blog and feel free to post comments about oncerns,questons or things you want to read about in this blog.

Until next time ..More hair

I Love Nay Nay
