According to Rock, he was inspired to make the movie after his 3yearold daughter Lola asked him, Daddy, how come I dont 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 thebillion 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. ........
