''Good Hair'' is a 2009 American comedy documentary film produced by Chris Rock Productions and HBO Films, starring and narrated by comedian Chris Rock.〔(‘Good Hair’ Trailer )〕〔(Chris Rock's 'Good Hair' )〕 Premiering at the Sundance Film Festival on January 18, 2009, ''Good Hair'' had a limited release to theaters in the United States by Roadside Attractions on October 9, 2009, and opened across the country on October 23. The film focuses on the issue of how African-American women have perceived their hair and historically styled it. The film explores the current styling industry for black women, images of what is considered acceptable and desirable for African-American women's hair in the United States, and their relation to African American culture.〔 ==Overview== According to Rock, he was inspired to make the movie after his 3-year-old daughter Lola asked him, "Daddy, how come I don't have good hair?" She has curly, wiry hair typical of many people of African descent. He realized she had already absorbed the perception among some blacks that curly hair was not "good".〔 Rock delves into the $9 billion black hair industry, and visits such places as beauty salons, barbershops, and hair styling conventions to explore popular approaches to styling. He visits scientific laboratories to learn the science behind chemical relaxers that straighten hair.〔〔("Chris Rock gets to the root of 'Good Hair'" ), CNN, 5 February 2009〕 Rock intended to explore the topic seriously, but with humor.〔 The movie features interviews from hair care industry businesspeople, stylists (Derek J, Jason Griggers and others) and their customers, and celebrities such as Ice-T, Nia Long, Paul Mooney, T-Pain, Raven-Symoné, Maya Angelou, KRS-One, Salt-n-Pepa, Kerry Washington, Eve, Reverend Al Sharpton, Andre Harrell, Tracie Thoms, Lauren London, and Meagan Good.〔〔(Good Hair )〕 These public figures discuss their experiences with their own hair, and the issue of how different types and characteristics of black hair are perceived in the black community. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Good Hair」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
