"A woman's hair is her glory," says poet Dr. Maya Angelou. "She shares it with her family."

But millions of black women don't find glory in the way their hair naturally looks, or they prefer to find glory in someone else's hair. Lionsgate/HBO Films' Good Hair, starring comedian Chris Rock, takes a funny, yet painfully insightful, look at the $9 billion business of making black women's hair look white.

Combining footage of the annual Bronner Bros. International Beauty Show with candid, revealing interviews with celebrities such as Eve, Ice-T, Nia Long, Angelou, Raven-Symoné, Melyssa Ford and Reverend Al Sharpton, the documentary shows the black community's love-hate relationship with their self-image, and how black women believe they aren't beautiful unless they have 'white' hair.
