00:00What's your definition of good hair?
00:06If somebody looks relaxed and nice.
00:08If your hair is relaxed, white people are relaxed.
00:10If your hair is nappy, they're not happy.
00:12Oh, God.
00:13This October, Chris Rock will take you back to your roots.
00:17Just yesterday, my daughter came into the house and said,
00:20Daddy, how come I don't have good hair?
00:22I wonder how she came up with that idea.
00:25Within the black community, if you have good hair,
00:27you're prettier or better than.
00:29The lighter, the brighter, the better.
00:31They want to go like this, like foul forces.
00:33There's so many pressures to straighten your hair.
00:34Look at my ring, still there.
00:38Relaxer is the chemical that will take a black woman's hair from this
00:41and change it into this.
00:43It's kind of like a torture session.
00:45Could you tell us how dangerous relaxer is?
00:48Sunny hydroxide will burn through your skin.
00:51So that can's got a good perm.
00:53This whole side was burnt off.
00:54And that's how the asymmetrical look came in with salt pepper.
00:57So you're saying your hair is addicted to relaxer?
00:59I am on the creamy crack.
01:01Creamy crack.
01:02So what's in your hair now?
01:03This is a weave.
01:04This is a weave.
01:05Two pieces here.
01:06You know, like extensions.
01:07Like, like that.
01:09The black hair business is a $9 billion business.
01:12One of these can run you $5,000.
01:14Well, I have a layaway plan, so you can lay away the weave.
01:17That's right.
01:18Have you ever put your hair through a black woman's hair?
01:20Hell no!
01:21Not a black woman!
01:22You just don't touch it.
01:23Do not touch my weave.
01:24No.
01:25Does your wife let you touch her hair?
01:26The question is, do I let her touch mine?
01:28Weave sex is a little awkward.
01:30What do you do?
01:31I guess stay on top.
01:33This is a 7,000-pound batch of relaxer.
01:36This will last prints about a month.
01:38Get ready to go around the world.
01:40Right now, I have Indian hair.
01:42Human hair is India's biggest export.
01:44Between 10 inches to 14.
01:4610 inches is better.
01:47Yes.
01:48It's like porno.
01:49Tell me.
01:50In the award-winning new comedy that Vanity Fair calls hilarious.
01:54Has anybody ever tried to steal your hair?
01:56No.
01:57If you see some black women, just run the other way.
02:00What I really wanted to know, if I could make any money selling black hair.
02:04Black hair!
02:05Would you like to buy some black hair?
02:07They don't want to look like you don't ever cut like this.
02:09You make sure the hair's straight, look more natural.
02:11So my nappy hair is not worth anything?
02:13Good hair.
02:14My advice for men when they're making love to a woman who has a wig is keep your hands on a toe.
02:19Keep your hands on it.
