Recently, we had the opportunity to talk to Chris Rock and Nia Long about weaves, wigs, and perms for the new documentary, Good Hair. Rock was inspired to make the film after his daughter asked him why she didn’t have good hair.

As an African American myself I’m excited to see his spin on such a hot topic!
