00:00What's your definition of good hair?
00:12If somebody looks relaxed and nice.
00:13If your hair is relaxed, white people are relaxed.
00:16If your hair is nappy, they're not happy.
00:18Oh, God.
00:18This October, Chris Rock will take you back to your roots.
00:23Just yesterday, my daughter came into the house and said,
00:26Daddy, how come I don't have good hair?
00:28I wonder how she came up with that idea.
00:31Within the black community, if you have good hair,
00:33you're prettier or better than.
00:35The lighter, the brighter, the better.
00:36They want to go like this, like Farrah Fawcett.
00:39There's so many pressures to straighten your hair.
00:40Look at my ring, still there.
00:44Relaxer's the chemical that will take a black woman's hair
00:46from this and change it into this.
00:49It's kind of like a torture session.
00:51Could you tell us how dangerous relaxer is?
00:54Sunny hydroxide will burn through your skin.
00:56So that can's got a good purr.
00:58This whole side was brought off.
01:00And that's how the asymmetrical look came in with Farrah Fawcett.
01:03So you're saying your hair is addicted to relaxer?
01:05I am on the creamy crack.
01:07Creamy crack.
01:08So what's in your hair now?
01:09This is a weave.
01:10This is a weave.
01:11Two pieces here.
01:11You know, like extensions.
01:13Like, like that.
01:15The black hair business is a $9 billion business.
01:18One of these can run you $5,000.
01:20Well, I have a layaway plan.
01:22So you can lay away the weave.
01:23That's right.
01:24Have you ever put your hair through a black woman's hair?
01:26Hell no!
01:27Not a black woman!
01:28You just don't touch it.
01:29Do not touch my weave.
01:30No.
01:30Does your wife let you touch her hair?
01:32The question is, do I let her touch mine?
01:34Weave sex is a little awkward.
01:36What do you do?
01:37I guess stay on top.
01:40This is a 7,000 pound batch of relaxer.
01:43This will last prints about a month.
01:45Get ready to go around the world.
01:46Right now, I have Indian hair.
01:48Human hair is India's biggest export.
01:50You know, 10 inches to 40.
01:5210 inches and better.
01:53Yes.
01:54It's like porno.
01:55Tell me.
01:56In the award-winning new comedy that Vanity Fair calls hilarious.
02:00Has anybody ever tried to steal your hair?
02:02No.
02:03If you see some black women, just run the other way.
02:06What I really wanted to know, if I could make any money selling black hair.
02:10Black hair!
02:11Would you like to buy some black hair?
02:13They don't want to look like you don't ever cut like this.
02:15You make sure the hair's straight.
02:16Look more natural.
02:17So my nappy hair is not worth anything.
02:20Good hair.
02:21My advice for men when they're making love to a woman who has a wig is keep your hands
02:25on top.
02:25Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
