I have very thick & curly hair that I straighten when I need a trim. Because it goes past my shoulders, I always get a few people who either shove their hands in my hair or touch my hair (without my permission) while asking me if that’s all mine or a weave….like black people can’t have “nice hair.”

They look bewildered at the annoyed look on my face or if I lean away….I mean I don’t know if their hands are clean. Makes me feel between annoyed and pissed.
