Do You Have “Good Hair”?
The documentary GOOD HAIR (directed by Chris Rock) is beginning to create such a buzz within the African-American community. Whether you prefer using “creamy crack”, adding a few blonde weave pieces, or a simple doobie (like myself) – then you definitely don’t want to miss out on this movie!
Take a look at the trailer and read more about GOOD HAIR!
About the Documentary
An exposé of comic proportions that only Chris Rock could pull off, GOOD HAIR visits beauty salons and hairstyling battles, scientific laboratories and Indian temples to explore the way hairstyles impact the activities, pocketbooks, sexual relationships, and self-esteem of the black community.
Director Jeff Stilson follows Chris Rock on this raucous adventure prompted by Rock’s daughter approaching him and asking, “Daddy, how come I don’t have good hair?” Haircare professionals, beautyshop and barbershop patrons, as well as celebrities including Ice-T, Nia Long, Paul Mooney, Raven Symoné, Dr. Maya Angelou, Salt n Pepa, Eve and Reverend Al Sharpton all candidly offer their stories and observations to Rock while he struggles with the task of figuring out how to respond to his daughter’s question.
GOOD HAIR marks a reunion of the team behind Rock’s acclaimed and Emmy® Award-winning HBO series The Chris Rock Show, including producer Nelson George, writer-director Jeff Stilson, writers Lance Crouther and Chuck Sklar. The film is produced by Chris Rock and Kevin O’Donnell.

Yes, I am a victim of my own hair. It gets done no matter what twice (sometimes even three) times a month. But hey, at the end of the day it makes me feel good and I’m gonna keep on getting it done until I’m dead & gone!
Straight, curly, purple, green, relaxed or not…do what makes you feel good. As long as it stays healthy, who cares what other people think!
Remember ladies…“Good hair is healthy hair!” – Solange Knowles

The Cosby Show 25 Anniversary: What’s your favorite episode?
By Kia O. Moore
On September 20, 1984 the first episode of the color-barrier shattering sitcom The Cosby Show aired. This Sunday was the 25th anniversary of that beloved brownstone dwelling family, the Huxtables. The impact this sitcom had on the nation’s view of the African-American nuclear family cannot be ignored. Take time to reflect on your favorite Huxtable moment, and pick up your clicker and tune to one of the many syndicated episodes on the airwaves today.
This is my favorite episode and very fitting for the occasion. Happy 25th Anniversary Huxtables!
