There is curiosity from others, and yet there is also the personal space issue.

I am multiracial, with natural hair that has been almost every colour of the rainbow, and in truth, I can really only tolerate two people touching my hair — my fiance and my hairdresser — and for two reasons: 1) I value my personal space, and 2) I have Asperger Syndrome and due to a more sensitive than normal nervous system, I cannot tolerate too much unbidden, unwanted touching from others. I might not punch someone for touching my hair, but I’m likely to get the willies. I’d just want someone to ask and then leave the answer up to me if they want to touch.

Or some random woman walks up behind you and grabs you hair!? (Which has happened to me) It’s kinda scary, I mean I know nothing about them except they just appeared out of no where, not knowing their background…who knows what they could be putting in my hair..people are into all kind of weird things. If the person lets me know then I’m fine with it but I don’t want someone digging their hands through my Afro trying to feel my scalp or tugging on my hair to see if it’s fake, I mean seriously!?
