改编自同名畅销小说，讲述女子Violet追求人前的完美形象，比如头发一定要拉直润色、打理妥帖。而她英俊潇洒、看似理想的男友却迟迟不求婚，终于有天坦白说觉得她活得太端着了。两人分手后，沮丧的Violet剃掉了视若珍宝的长发，从此保留黑人天然的小卷毛蓬松头发(nappy hair)，并不再过于在意外界眼光，开始自在、自我的生活。Violet Jones tired of waiting for her longtime boyfriend to propose, breaks up with him. But old feelings, and heaps of jealousy, no doubt, arise when he promptly begins dating another woman.
