First of all, congratulations on your weave check.Secondly, the next time it happens it's best to bob and weave (no pun intended) like a boxer and then commence to slapping and moving forward with the knees. All the while looking graceful like a ballet dancer.
These stories almost have a sexual assult type of feel to them.erplexed

They do, it's just too personal. Some of these stories sound like somebody needs to file a police report.

Back in January 2009, an older employee (64 years old) in another department made a statement about my hair. I normally wear it in a protective style (bun) 95 percent of the time, so she hasn’t seen me wear it down yet—even though a few other employees have. While I was working at the scanning machine, she stopped by and said: “It looks like you have it (the bun) attached to the back of your head.” I told her: “This is my natural hair.” She said: “It looks full. Have you ever thought about wearing it down?” I said: “I have.” Then she went away.
About a month later (February), while I dropped some mail in her office, she said: “Your hair looks so straight.” I said: “It’s straighter, because I just came from the salon last Saturday.” Then she said: “Is that really all your hair?” I said: “Yes, and I just had a major trim--about 4 inches.” She stared at me as if I was lying. So she stood up and stepped behind me. I showed her my trim, and she was shocked! I said: “I like it better because my ends are even, but I didn’t realize my stylist trim that much off . . . because I never look in the mirror when he’s working on my hair. I didn’t realize my hair was falling short from the comb until a few days later. She looked puzzled. Then I said: “I extended my comb out, but the hair was falling short, because it was shorter. I normally don’t look in the mirror when I comb my hair.” Her eyes bucked.
Then she said: “It’s so long!” I said: “No it’s not, it used to be down here (mid back & waist length), now it’s at the tip of my bra clasp. See it’s not a weave. The right side was about five inches longer than the left side. Then I proceed to pull my hair in opposite directions to show her that there aren’t any tracks.” She said: “My hair has never been longer than neck length, but I cover it with a wig.”
Now listen to this: I was oiling my hair in the rest room two days ago--Tuesday (parted it into four sections), and she walks in and says hello. Then before she goes into the stall, she comes back in front of the mirror and says giggly: “I can’t believe your hair is this long!” Then she actually yanks it, and then she does a serious, aggressive weave check with both of her hands. Maybe she’s looking for “glued-on hair” since she can’t find tracks. All the time she is laughing. I try to play if off by saying: “I told you this is not a weave. From time to time, strangers will ask if I’m wearing a weave, but I tell them the truth. This is my natural hair.”
Then she goes on to say: “My hair has never been beyond my neck!” It’s very rare to see African American women with hair that length, unless it’s a weave. That has to be genetics.” I said: “There are women with long hair.” Then I catch myself because I realize that I can’t tell her any information about my regimen or the hair care boards, because she’s flaky. She asked me to have lunch with her, (and it’s on her) a total of three times back in December and January. Each time I went to her office, she was no where to be found. No explanations or apologies either.
Would you believe til this day, she’s still asking me to have lunch with her? I give her some lame excuse every time now. Then she says: “I forgot or I had an errand to run, etc.” I told her: “Order the food any day, then let me know when it’s here. I’m too busy to go out for lunch now.” She said: “I’ll get the menu.” I say to myself: “Yeah right!”
Well, I know what a weave check feels like now, so I sympathize with you ladies. Now you see why I refuse to share my hair care regimen with women like this. If they ask for products, I’ll give them the crappy stuff that I no longer use on my hair. If they want healthy hair, let them figure it out for themselves.

I agree. Now I just tell people I keep my hair moisturized. I don't share my regimen with anyone outside this board too often. I just shared my Mega-Tek secret with a guy who's balding and he ordered it right after we spoke. My brother has my regimen because he want's to grow his hair bra-strap length. Anyone outside of that isn't really interested. They just want to be in your business and run their mouth!

Thank you! I was just about to reply with the same thing.
I guess my reflexes are faster than most, because there is no way in HELL his hand would make it from nape to crown without me jerking back and slapping him-HARD. "I wish a mutha**** would"

Yes! People kill me. I was wearing a new wig the other day and my guy friend was like "i like your hair. did you color it? ". I said yes. Minutes later my phone rang and I was busy chatting away. Dude had gone to the bathroom, minutes later he came from behind me and rubbed his hand xtra hard down my head, then sat on the couch like nothing happened.

I feel like only the ladies of LHCF can understand this
I got weave checked back in 2007...I was wearing a straight APL-BSL weave with bangs. I loved it, but it felt a little wiggy. This really cute guy (who is now in the NBA) came up to me at a party and we started dancing, then we talked for a few minutes and he walked away. A few minutes later, I felt this really heavy hand on top of my head, and he dragged it ALLLLL the way down my head. I could feel it rolling over the tracks, man
But now...I haven't had a weave since then. (IDK, maybe I was traumatized by it?) So Saturday my bestie and I went to a Que party, and while I was outside one of the bruhs asked if he could play with my hair when we got inside. I asked him why the hell he would wanna do that, and he said "because your hair looks so...playful" and proceeded to stick his hand up into my scalp! I mean...from nape to crown! I was so shocked I didn't know what to do, but then I realized what was going on and got even more confused. I mean, it was just a wash n go. I didn't freak though, because of course I knew he wouldn't find any tracks. And then he began to smile.
I think if it happens again I'll be more prone to slapping his hand away. Or slapping his face.
Hahahahaha when it happens to me I'm always shocked! Then I think about it and laugh! Personally I don't think my hair is all that for someome to go so far as to run their dirty hands through my clean scalp! Then have the nurve to tell me it feels to soft and smoot! Like its suppose to feel like some weeds or something!
This is really random but was it at the shorty short that you got checked? I noticed you are in va and I go to nsu and they just had their party last weekend
Years ago one girl felt through my hair in front of a group of people and announced, "Are you wearing weave? I feel...Nothing!". You're darn right- you feel nothing, I thought (But I did have some tracks located at the bottom-she just missed them since I have alot hair anyway..hahaha! SUCKER!).
