Campy horror satire Bad Hair gets first trailer and release date

August 14, 2020 by EJ Moreno

If anyone has been to the salon or barbershop, they’ve had a bad hair experience. But none like you see in the first trailer for Hulu’s Bad Hair. In this one-minute teaser for the upcoming film, you see why changing your hairstyle can be a real horror story.

From the Dear White People director, Justin Simien’s Bad Hair is a horror satire set in 1989 that follows Anna (Elle Lorraine), who fears the worst when her dreadlocked boss is replaced by Zora, a retired supermodel who pressures her to get a weave. Her new hair isn’t just a change in style, but a change in her life as it has a mind of its own and bites back. Check out the trailer below:

Bad Hair stars Elle Lorraine, Vanessa Williams, Lena Waithe, Laverne Cox, Jay Pharoah, Kelly Rowland, Blair Underwood, James Van Der Beek, and Usher Raymond.

The Sundance Midnight Section Opener will debut on Hulu this October 23rd.
