It's Rare to See a Horror Movie That Really Speaks to Black Women Like Bad Hair
Bad Hair, the antagonist is entirely brand new: a Black woman’s weave.“Bad hair” and “good hair” have long been used in Black communities to refer to how loosely curled one’s hair is—the straighter, we're told, the better. Bad Hair, a comedy-horror film now streaming on Hulu from writer and director Justin Simien (Dear White People), reimagines as body horror. Set in 1989, the film follows Anna (Elle Lorraine) as she climbs the ladder at Culture, a Black music TV company.
