good hair:

I watched the film as well. It was funny how much women put in to getting good hair. I do not think that black women should go through the extremes such as spending $1000 on weave and getting strong perms. I think the film was very informal. Black women put to much effort in having good hair. I think it is the woman's decision. If she wants to spend $1000 on weaves or get perms constantly, then that is what she wants to do to feel beautiful. I am not natural, but will not wear weaves.

The fact of the matter is that hair is important. Society is a strong force that makes us make decisions. Those who have "good hair" may be more likely to get the better job. Those who have "good hair" may be more attractive to the opposite sex.
