I used to get that question when I was relaxed bone straight...since it looked like a weave at times, but most people knew me long enough around the area and knew my hair was long. I did have 1 deputy sheriff who was Latino oogle and compliment me on my hair, and he didn't ask if it was a weave first. At the time, it was MBL.
ETA: Whenever my semi-antisocial sister sees me after a long time, if my hair was hanging down and it's not obviously a wig, she would ask me if it was my hair. And, these days
any time she sees a black woman with long, natural hair (whether on TV or in public), she says, "I wonder if she has Indian in her family, or if she's 'mixed.'"
DANG some ppl are never going to outgrow their IGNORANCE. ...sheesh as IF a purely Black woman can't have long hair!!! Makes me smdh.
I have, however, had Filipino women ask me on more than 1 occasion if my I had implants.
And, I'm very petite if you know what I mean, so IDK WTH gave them that impression!! As Beans4Reezy says, it is
VERY rude to ask about someone's hair being real or not. Unless they want hair care tips, then it doesn't matter if it's a weave, wig, etc.
