"
Good Hair
...uncovers a multibillion dollar industry relying on misinformation, misrepresentation, and misguided personal opinions about fashion to maintain its beauty salon stronghold."
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
B
"Rock imparts a comical look at the desire to keep the natural state of black hair a distant memory. Funny stuff, though a few nuggets of information he stumbles upon introduce a semi-horror film element to the documentary."

"A generally superb model of how to make a pop documentary"

Jim Judy
2/5
"It doesn’t matter if Rock is in a Harlem barbershop or an Indian hair-weave factory -- there’s always a punch line or a snooty eye-roll to be had."
Time Out New York
Keith Uhlich
B
"...a surprisingly in-depth documentary in which a niche subject - black women's hair - turns out to touch upon all type of societal issues from self-esteem and ideals of beauty to economics to sexual intimacy."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
A-
"Should be seen by everyone, especially mothers and daughters, to remind us that all hair is good hair and that beauty is more about how we feel than how we look."
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
3.5/5
"The subject matter would still be fairly interesting without Rock's involvement, but the comedian brings a accessibility to the material that no amount of facts and figures can replace."
Cinematical
Scott Weinberg
3/4
"Educates more than it entertains, even though there's plenty of colorful subjects (Chris) Rock could have gently lampooned."
