Black Shampoo

description Black Shampoo Overview

Black Shampoo is a 1976 American exploitation film directed and co-written by Greydon Clark, with John Daniels as Jonathan Knight, an African American hairdresser and salon owner. The film draws on the title and premise of Shampoo while recasting the central figure as a Black businessman whose relationship with his secretary, Brenda, provokes retaliation from her former white mobster lover. Its blend of sex, comedy, crime, and violence places it within both blaxploitation and sexploitation cinema.
