Hair Piece: A Film for Nappy Headed People is an insightful and funny short animated film examining the problems that African-American women have with their hair.
Generally considered the first black woman animator, director Ayoka Chenzira was a key figure in the development of African-American filmmakers in the 1980s through her own films and work to expand opportunities for others. Writing in the New York Times, critic Janet Maslin lauded this eccentric yet jubilant film. She notes the narrator "tells of everything from the difficulty of keeping a wig on straight to the way in which Vaseline could make a woman's hair sound like the man in The Fly saying 'Help me!'"
Hair Piece: A Film for Nappy Headed People was added to the National Film Registry in 2018.
