good hair
A popular term in the African-American community, used to describe an
black person's hair that closely resembles the hair of a
typical white person (i.e. soft, managable, long, as opposed to "nappy" or "bad" hair). The closer your hair is to a
white person's, the "better" your hair is. See: "bad hair".Note: Most people who use this term would never admit the inferiority complex from which it came.

A word used to describe
somebody's hair. This is a term used for
black people's hair, and it is "good hair" if it is long, soft, and
smooth. This type of hair is considered attractive because soft and smooth hair is the healthiest, or at least looks that way.

The term "Good Hair" originates in the African-American/Black community that is used to describe black people with softer, looser-curled,
manageable hair. This type of language stems from history of
colorism and Societal
Assimilation due to centuries of being taught that lighter skin, softer hair and caucasioid features are somehow more beautiful. Throughout the generations it has been a coined term in the community. Mostly used by the older generation.
Example:
Grandmother: *touches granddaughters hair*
"
Ooooh chile you got
good hair from ya' daddy side of his family!"

Example:
Stylist: I have 7 clients heads to style and I should be done pretty quick because they all have trained
healthy hair that I can work through fast & easy.
Stylist #2: Wish my clients would take care of their head when I'm not there and start training their own heads before they sit up in my chair expecting me to give them
good hair.

good hair day

A good hair day is the most AMAZING DAY EVER. It's often mistaken for actually having perfect hair, but that's the least important part of it. Everything in your life goes the perfect way. You're happy. You're mom is happy. You finally
get a dog.
You're dog is happy. Season 2 of your favorite TV show comes out totally unannounced. It's not just regular happy, it's freaking DANCING-IN-A-MEADOW-FULL-OF-DAISIES-NICK JONAS-JUST-SHOWED-UP-ON-MY-DOORSTEP-HAPPY. You wanna scream. You look gorgeous, things just couldn't get bette-- BAM. YOU WOKE UP. You're screwed. You're late for school. You haven't washed your hair in five days. Its Greasy. There is absolutely nothing you can do about it. You're mom is yelling.
Laundry day. You can't find you favorite black shirt. You've broken your glasses. Soap gets into your eyes. You're nail breaks. You're wearing
wet socks. AND ITS A BAD HAIR DAY.
Example:
Martha: *ugh*
Dave: You okay Martha?
Martha: *covers face with ugly baseball cap*
Stop looking at me.
Stacy: Someone
woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.
Lana: *WHISPERS TO MARK* - ew what's up with the lime baseball cap?
Mark: Nothing. Give her a break. Its prolly just a bad hair day.
So basically a good hair day can be defined as something ,
with all due respect, TOTALLY NON EXISTENT. :/
