"Good Hair"

“Good Hair” was nothing like I was expecting it to be. Honestly, I was ready for a semi-stupid comedy making fun of everything, not a documentary. I was thoroughly impressed with Chris Rock and his movie “Good Hair”. The topic is something I have actually been curious about before as I drive past wig shops and what not. I had read about the long and expensive process of getting weaves but I never knew it to be as expensive and time consuming- not to mention important- as it was portrayed in the documentary. It is interesting how good hair takes priority in many people’s lives over what one would think of essential things. I consider myself pretty low maintenance and it amazes me that people are willing to spend so much money on looking a certain way. I never knew that hair was so important to different people and that different types are considered more attractive than others. I have really thick and annoying hair but I realize that after this movie I should be thankful that I have the hair I have. If not for the appearance reasons than at least I can sell it if I am ever really desperate for money!
