Relatable. More about discovery thatn a rom-com
Enjoyed the storyline. This is what little girls are supposed to dream about. You go with the character along the journey.
So sutil that the man who wrote the synopsis doen't get it

Really? Somebody didn't get it. The best about the movie: is not about the men. Is mainly about a woman who set itself free. From her mom, the society and the man.

Beautiful film ALL women can relate to!
This was so well put together, Sanaa usually wows and as usual this is no different. The spark between the lead roles was so well acted out that a relationship was built with every single character it was a master piece. Wish we could see more films like this.
Black Hair Matters
Someone else questioned how they could make a movie about a woman's hair. Well, they didn't. This movie isn't about one woman's hair. This movie is about black women's hair, and what it's like for black women to live in a world where they're stigmatized because of their hair. Where they're considered unprofessional and uncivilized if they don't straighten it.
I guess you have to actually be a black woman to relate to this film. But you shouldn't have to be a black woman to be able to empathize with black women. When the world is the way it is, we need movies like this. Black women need movies like this. Black women deserve movies like this.
Also, you know, it's a sweet and heartwarming movie, it goes places and doesn't end the way you think. I liked it.

For Relaxation
This story is about obedience and obssession. When you take one away. How do you cope? This is a simple story about a girl who learnt from her Mother the importance of hair and appearance which was affected by the environment you find yourself in. This a very enjoyable film. Simple message and no clunkers.

- TriviaSanaa Lathan cut her hair off in real life during filming.
- GoofsEven if Zoe had intentionally sabotaged Violet's hair by switching the labels on the bottle to give her stylist relaxer instead of conditioner, there's no way her stylist would not have been able to recognize the strong smell of relaxer, as it smells like a toxic bleach chemical, nothing like the smell of conditioner.
