Dwight Eubanks hits hard at "Good Hair" movie.

Dwight Eubanks is not “relaxing” about the “Good Hair” Bad Hair movie.  He is straightening the kinks in this brutal portrayal of black hair salons.  He has joined forces with hair industry professionals in forming a committee known as “Glamour Force (Focused Opportunity Reciprocating Collectively Enterprises)”.  Their goal is to empower and enlighten everyone about black hair.  After seeing the movie, many of the stylists’ were disturbed by the negative depictions of the services offered in black salons.  Dwight is making it clear he is disturbed personally as a stylist and is insulted at the mockery that was made of black salons.  Despite of going into the movie with an open mind, he came out feeling disappointed and betrayed by the movie industry for releasing this inaccurate documentary!  A notably disturbing part of the movie for Eubanks, was the insistence that perms are bad and causes scalp burns, breakage, and is damaging to hair.  Their understanding of the effects of  perms is uneducated and irresponsible.  This unfounded statement can cause a stylist thousands of dollars in revenues each year.  The majority of their clients come into salons for perms.  If they are made to believe perms are bad, they may decide to go natural and eliminate their stylist.  Furthermore, to imply that a stylist would knowingly do anything to damage a clients scalp or hair is despicable.

"The Purple Door"

Ralph Ochoa, a stylist and committee member felt the movie was from the 1970’s prospective.  It did not visit one upscale salon throughout the entire movie.  There are different levels of services available, from the basic to the elite.   It goes without saying, your economic level determines the type of service you will receive.   Dwight’s salon “The Purple Door” is amongst the elite.  He uses top of the line products and hair techniques.  The movie showed lower level salons that aren’t able to use higher grade products, therefore rendering inferior results.   So in a nutshell, it is like calling all black people “ghetto”.   It is this unfair generalization that has ignited the wrath of Dwight and his committee “Glamour Force”.  Charles Gregory a “Glamour Force” member felt not visiting higher end salons was a disservice to the documentary.

The Purple Door

Dwight found nothing positive in the movie.  However,  committee members Brittianca and Al Scott were able to see some positives.  Scott found the movie educational and tried not to focus on the negative.  Brittianca  felt this would be a great opportunity to give a wake up call to the black community.  The black hair care industry is a billion dollar a year industry and the majority of the businesses profiting are not black.  Nor, is this money going back into the black community.   She feels blacks should learn from the movie and start empowering themselves.

Dwight pointed out the movie was supposed to serve as a documentary about black hair.  However, they failed to mention the most prominent force in the history of black hair care.  Madame C.J. Walker was not mentioned one time in the movie.  She was the first black female millionaire in the United States from her hair care products.   We must put to rest the negative connotation associated with black tresses.  Dwight has taken the first step.
