More Good Hair

In this post, I want to talk about the perception of good vs bad hair.  The African American community typically defines "good hair" as wavy or straight, easy to comb, and long.  But what people don't realize is:

  1. just because your hair is wavy or straight, it doesn't mean it's more manageable
  2. easy to comb may also mean potential problems holding a style
  3. long does not equal "good
Here's a clip from Spike Lee's movie School Daze that summarizes the struggle between good and bad hair.
