CGiii Comment

"From a '70s lens, this six-minute film comprised of four infomercials delves into the cultural relationship that black people have with their hair."

When in doubt, wash it out. Join Jerome, The Hairy Godmother, The Working Woman, Wilma, and the Soul Sisters in a groovy exploration through Black hair politics. Sometimes, the cultural references are just the infomercials we've learned along the way.
