The movie opened with old video footage of beautiful black women with relax, braided and very well styled hair to then project to newer and newest footage of hair up to today.

He featured different black actress, actors, activists such as Nia long, Melyssa Ford, Al sharpton, Ice-T and much more. He even featured some well known personality in Atlanta, Derek J who's If i remember right, Monica's or someone else' hair dresser.

Each spoke about how important hair is to them and the society. Some even mention how much they spent weekly how much they had currently. I do feel a bit let down that he didn't use more women that had no weave on whether permed or dreaded in the movie. There was a few but comparing to those with the fake hair it wasn't enough to me.

He went into different hair dresser in where one actually surprised me when she said bad hair to me are those with curly hair because it's so hard to take care of even harder then nappy hair.

He went into the perm manufacturer as well, in which I've learned that for 7000 pounds of perm also called creamy crack was worth about 18,000$. He did some test with a professor, what a certain ingredient in perm could do to a Coca can within hour, hours and a full day, the can disintegrate. Imagine in your head. They did a test as well on some chicken, it just went "through" the chicken.

He went even deeper and touched the "Weave, Front lace etc". He even interviewed some men that i was really surprised, some have said women's hair are the reason i rather go white etc. It really gave me a very close look to how men think of "black" woman's hair instead of maybe embracing and helping women feel that hey baby, your short, bald head i love it no matter what.

He went to India, to get more info on where and how they take the hair (even steal! them), how it gets processed, sewed then sold in L.A. They got into the progression of before it was a shamed to be wearing weave, people used to go stores back entrance to buy weave. The lay away plan for weave, how much some cost like 1000$ - 6000$ , Chris rock even mock one of them who's a school teacher and college graduate and tell her well wait a minute, school teacher don't make no money? He even spoke to men who have to pay for their women's weave, like one had to pay for his wife and daughter. can you imagine? You would ask how do they sell them? Well it feels like it's almost on black market, it's in a suit case, they walk into different places and within few hours it's sold out.

He spoke to high school soon to be graduate kids who basically said they would not leave your hair unprocessed, because at interview it doesn't look good.

He also showed some type of hair dressing contest, you win a 20K and obviously getting your name all over the place bu t honestly i paid little to no attention to this one. It was pure foolishness.

Out of all, at first in interviews i did feel that Chris Rock was making fun of black women but really my attitude changed viewing this movie. I see he was just trying to shed some lights on how far "us" black women would go just to please and "think" we are beautiful with all of that. It hurts me to see some people who can't eat, pay their rent just to afford their weave. I had NO idea it was like that I for one hate the feeling of weave on my scalp. Al sharpton said something that make a lot of sense, they don't want me to send them to school, get an education but you want me to pay for hair?

Something else that got me angry when Chris went to try to sell black people hair and the asian said it wasn't worth anything, Chris asked the seller if he thought someone would get sickle cell or something from taking the "black" people hair and the asian dude simply said yes! At one point even the black woman chimed in and said it's no good. I'm just angry at this and i will leave it as is to hear what you guys think.

I'll give this 10! Thank you Chris Rock For Bringing this to me.
