During the coronavirus outbreak, a lot of people are finding themselves home from work and having to telework. Parents are being forced to home school their children because schools are out. Also, due to the curfews and lockdowns imposed in a lot of cities, movie theaters, malls, restaurants and gyms are off limits.
If this is you and you find yourself looking for things to watch on TV, I invite you to consider some of the many movies out there that center around hair!
Here is a list and link to access a few:

Along for the ride is Chicago’s co-worker, Lucky (Tupac Shakur), to whom Justice grows close after some initial problems. But is she ready to open her heart again?
