haven't worn a weave, so I'm not sure. Even though, I always hesitate when a guy touches my hair... Perhaps because I start to wonder why he's doing it.
I have to say, objectively, I like when a guy strokes my hair, and I fondly remember the days when it was easier to do so (when I had relaxed hair). I remember being sad in my last relationship that my ex didn't touch my hair as much when I went natural. Not that he didn't like it. Actually, he was such a major supporter that he did my big chop for me
Then, I realized it had to do with the fact that it takes more effort to reach the scalp when you're wearing an afro
and they don't want to mess up whatever style you've got going on. Another, more personal reason, is that my ex didn't like that I used to go out with wet hair so much.
I'm way off topic, but I just feel like talking about this
Since being natural and dating other people, I have had several guys touch my hair without asking. Sometimes on the first date, even. Not while kissing, either. One non-black guy dug his hand in there and rubbed, and then talked about how he loves it. I think that was probably the most overt feedback I'd gotten on it on a date.
Another non-black put his hands in it and fluffed it upward, leaving me thinking: he must not know black hair boundaries.
Black men have mostly patted it, maybe out of concern that I might not want anything further? Some have also asked to sniff it. They'll get a light whiff of my conditioner and ask permission to smell it. I think that's so cute
