"If you arrive at Good Hair never having thought about the complexities of black hair, bring a notebook. If you are a black woman wearing a weave, bring a tissue."

Boston Globe

"Full of sweetly sardonic observations, the docu-comedy is one of the funniest movies of the year."

Denver Post

"Good Hair is a raucous and rigorous inquiry into the subject of African-American hair -- the stigmas, the secrets, the shocking price of maintenance -- that gets at universal but rarely discussed truths about black femininity."
