Spurred by his little girl’s question, "Daddy, how come I don’t have good hair?" comic Chris Rock sets out to find why – and how very much – his African-American sisters crave different hair from what the Good Lord gave them. He makes his way, perplexed and amiable, through neighbourhood salons and barbershops, LA wig stores and their suppliers in India; and fetches up at an arena event that makes hairdressing a performance sport.

"A raucous and rigorous inquiry into the subject of African-American hair -- the stigmas, the secrets, the shocking price of maintenance -- that gets at universal but rarely discussed truths about black femininity."

Variety
Variety"Spirited, probing and frequently hilarious, it coasts on the fearless charm of its front man and the eye-opening candor of its interviewees, most of them women."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"Rock conveys a lot of information, but also some unfortunate opinions and misleading facts. That doesn't mean the move isn't warm, funny, and entertaining."
—
Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"The result is a documentary that weaves as much comedy as fact into the narrative, making the experience a satisfying entertainment even for the lucky few who have no hair cares at all."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"Entertaining and substantive enough to be interesting even for those completely unfamiliar with weaves and relaxers."
