Huge ass no-no. seriously? lmfao shut up shit, it’s just hair. Excuse you but it’s rude to put your hands in people’s hair without asking. This isn’t nothing, it’s not the first time someone marveled at the oh-so-wondrous daring nappy hair. You don’t reach out and touch someone’s fro, and you don’t reach out to touch someones locs, you just don’t. It’s not a science experiment to go poking at and dissecting or whatever. ugh, do you get what I’m trying to say? Someone help me out, I’m sure there are others who get what I’m trying to say. Too often is our natural hair getting “omg, like, cool, can I touch it?” responses. It’s not to be trivialized, it’s a statement, it’s my hair. Fuck. And furthermore, would he reach out and touch Blake Lively’s fucking hair? We’re not spectacles, and what makes you think you are at all at liberty to do so. Respect for fuck’s sake.

Bold for emphasis. Totally get you. It’s commonplace for some white people to walk up to those with natural hair and put their hands in it. I hear tons of stories of how someone just walked up and played with someone’s fro or locs. I don’t understand their fascination with our hair but it needs to stop. This is not the fucking zoo.

And maybe if they asked someone would actually say yes. But they don’t so it always ignites a ‘you should’ve dropped kick them’ reaction from me. And considering right now my hair is fro’ish and that I can be a rude asshole when necessary. I dare someone to just walk up to me on the street and do that.
