Chris Rock's Daughter Inspired New Film
Funny dad Chris Rock tackles a rather unusual subject matter in his new movie: Hair.
Chris says that the flick was actually inspired by his daughter, who asked, "Daddy, how come I don't have good hair?"
"One day, I was in the car with my daughter and her little girlfriend, who happened to be white, and she was raving about her girlfriend's hair, and she used the words 'good hair' to describe it, and it kind of made me jump a little bit," Chris tells MTV. "I started thinking about my daughter, and I started thinking about the Bronner Bros. Hair Show ... and here we are with Good Hair."
To film the documentary, which focuses on African-American women's perceptions of hair and beauty, Chris traveled to the Bronner Bros. Hair Show in Atlanta, the Dudley's Hair Care & Cosmetics plant in Greensboro, North Carolina and even as far as India.
Chris and his wife Malaak are parents to girls Zahra Savannah, 5, and Lola Simone, 7.
Great idea for a documentary. Its such an issue in the AA community.
Great idea for a documentary. I'm going to see it.
i think this idea is wonderful! i cannot begin to explain how many times i'd cry when i was little b/c i didn't have long flowing hair. my poor 5 y/o niece is going thru the same thing right now :/ and with this film coming out, it just shows that not everyone has that 'perfect' hair and there really is no such thing. i wonder if a 5 y/o would sit thru this, lol.
