Chris Rock is an Emmy-winning comedian, devoted husband and loving father—but it's time to get to know a new side of this funnyman. Meet Chris Rock, hair expert.

It's a detour he took after an innocent carpool ride left Chris with an idea he just couldn't shake. "I was with my daughter one day, and we're in the car and she's with one of her friends in the back seat, a little white friend," he says. "She was just kind of raving about her friend's hair a little too much for my comfort [saying]: 'You've got great hair. Oh, your hair's so good.'"

Not wanting to make her comments a big deal, Chris says he tried to play his them off. "[I said]: "Oh, baby, your hair's beautiful. Come on,'" he says. "If I would have really reacted, then she would have a complex about her hair."

Still, Chris couldn't let it go. "It sparked something in me," he says.

So Chris set out to do something he's never done before—a documentary. In Good Hair, Chris travels from beauty shops in Brooklyn to sacred Indian temples to get to the root of why African-American women place so much importance on their hair.
