Those of you who followed along with me in South Africa will know that I learned a thing or two about hair care while there as part of a modest micro-credit program. It never ceased to amaze me how much effort and energy – and money! – some women put into their hair when it seemed to me like there was much else to be thinking about.

So I’d really like to see this new Chris Rock movie, especially since it might finally tell me just what that mysterious “relaxer” is that I heard so much about.
