Nia Long Talks 'Good Hair'

On the heels of her appearance in comedian Chris Rock's documentary "Good Hair," actress Nia Long and ESSENCE invited five smart and stylish women--singer Solange Knowles; singer Ledisi; TV host Tanika Ray; celebrity hairstylist Ursula Stephen; and writer and producer Tonya Lewis Lee--for a provocative discussion about Black women's love-hate relationship with their hair in the article "The Root of the Issue." The exchanges between the women, moderated by ESSENCE beauty and cover director Mikki Taylor, range from hilarious to heartbreaking, but they all keep it real on this hot-button issue.
