Through interviews with ordinary people, industry insiders and famous faces such as Kerry Washington, Eve, Meagan Good, Sarah Jones, Nia Long, Raven-Symoné, Maya Angelou and various men including Ice-T and Al Sharpton, the comedian/actor takes a look at what black women think about their hair, including the quest of many to modify their locks, via the use of relaxer and weaves, to make them appear more akin to that found on white women than their own ethnicity.
All of which leads to the annual and lucrative Bronner Brothers Hair Show in Atlanta where contestants such as Derek J, Jason Griggers, Freddie Jones and Tonya Crumel compete in the Hair Battle Royale Competition.
Some general and non-serious, drug-related comments are made, and there's brief smoking content. Some bad attitudes are present, as is some potentially imitative behavior along with various thematic elements and topics to talk about.
