Reply #23: Chris Rock wrote a book about black women + hair

[bobbieinok]

He heard his daughter moaning about her 'ugly hair' and thought something should be done, that something needed to be done about the negative self-image black girls had developed and were developing.

There was a segment with him on CNN and an article on black women and hair in Essence magazine. This was about the same time as Tyra's program on hair; Oprah also did a program on the topic of black women and hair.
