The one thing I dislike about the african american community/culture is that we spend to much time denying and pointing the finger at others.RAP MUSIC does not make people do violence, but it doesnt help.I listen to Barry White to get me in the mood for love and gospel music to inspire/overcome.. Nobody will ever do a driveby to classical music.Teen pregnancy and the incarceration rate is a major problem in the innercity with black and latino cultures,it is worthless to point to suburban/rural america or “white people” we need to address the realities we need to deal with.. Of course black women dont wanna be white,but America through systematic racism and white/euro supremacy taught us that we are not beautiful and things black arent good or desirable.From relationships to self identity we hate ourselves or was taught to; through mental slavery; a fact.Nappy hair is way more manageable than straight hair, because that is its natural state.I love this movie for shedding light on the issue just as The color purple and Boyz and the hood did. Lets face facts, stop avoiding truths and blaming others… Madam Cj Walker would be ashamed if she knew how much money we made the Koreans and Whites and how less we control of our hair…

Men, especially black men do care about your hair! I told my ex I was thinking, just thinking about transitioning to natural and growing my perm out. He told me flat out “you know I don’t like that s***.” That was pretty hurtful and a big wow moment. He also thought braids were unprofessional and in retrospect kept his own hair it a very short fade so he clearly hated afro texture. I transitioned anyway, but I will never forget how much hatred a black man showed towards our unique features. It is sad really. Surely all the blame does not lie with black men but we do share some of the responsibility. Had I been a lesser or more easily influenced woman I might have been convinced to keep relaxing and show disdain towards my own dna.

Yes, CHRIS’ wife and her weave, just like JADA PINKETT SMITH and HER weave, are glaringly missed in this movie (which I haven’t seen yet) and DEFINITELY caused a good part of the ROCK gals envy, as well as young WILLOW SMITH probably too. I wonder IF Chris DID approach the subject with his better half, and if he ever thought she was ‘all natural’ or knew all along since he probably couldn’t run a hand through it, lol? Like he said about DAVID LETTERMAN, ‘you can go to somebody in every case to get help, but when you are in trouble with the WIFE, you have nobody to turn to!’ (paraphrasing)

I didn’t see the show but am watching today’s episode and curious about it. I googled and found this very good blog. Did Oprah have any Hispanic women on? We have our own unique hair issues too.

Ladies please take heed…

@NLSmith I agree with most of your comments but I think its unfair to speak for every woman and their reasons for wearing weaves. True, other races wear “extensions” that closely match the texture of their hair. But these other races also spend tons of money on flat irons, potions and lotions, and chemical alterations to straighten curly and wavy hair, creating a pin straight sleek look. Furthermore, kinky afro textures are becoming more and more popular weave options. Many women want the option of rocking that fabulous fierce fro look but don’t want to be stuck to it.

Did Chris Rock travel to the NW? If so, he would have discovered that the rain causes most black women to loose their minds. We perm and weave until we are “accepted” in our predominately white environment.

As for me, my natural transition began this summer. I was frustrated trying to maintain my hair after excercising. It was expensive!I was forced to reevaluating my expenditures and my reason for staying in bondage.

Now, I am free!!! The greatest lesson Ive learned is Self Acceptance. Wearing my hair natural gives me a certain boldness. Chris Rock’s movie may not address the causes to secretly desiring “Good Hair”. But, I hope it will cause women to evaluate their perception of beauty, and the choices they make to achieve the “ideal” fantasy.
