TRANSITION OVER! 11-22-14
I'm guilty of staring, but I try not to get caught! Sorry, I love long hair and I admire it on others. If I ever get there...I'd take it as a compliment.
This doesn't surprise me given your location. It wouldn't surprise me either if the people who asked were white. J-Ville has some very peculiar people with a odd perception of blacks.And then there are the people who ask what im mixed with and tell me I have the longest hair they've ever seen on a black girl. I
I don't care if people stare at it but when they start talking out of their face, I have a problem. Whether it's a weave or not, it's not your concern. But I definitely hate it when people touch my hair. I had a bad experience once where a girl was supposedly "admiring" my hair and running her hand in it and put gum all over my hair. she thought I was going to have to cut it all off but she didn't know I was smarter than her and with some cooking oil, got all of it out! I washed and did my hair and the next day I was swinging it in her face and she was furious! My hair was BSL at that point. Since then, I am very weary of anyone getting near my beautiful hair!!
Um yeah. I get that to, until I give the look of death. Maybe they think its okay but it's just not. I don't know where your hands have been, and I don't want everyone's hands in my hair anyways. I avoid manipulation, so why would I want someone else doing it. That is crazy that someone would do that. Maybe it's also a weave check. I never thought of that before.disclaimer: okay so my hair is barely APL so i guess it's not "long" by my standards, and Im currently growing out my layers.
I never thought i'll say this, but i HATE it when people stare at my hair! I hate it hate it hate it I'll rather get a negative comment, or a positive comment than the weird deer in the headlight stare. Especially from guys. In the town i live, brown skin is still a minority, so the colored folk just stare and dont even know what to say. While the white folk are always quick to say how nice it looks.what gives?
The other day i wore my hair down, I was not impressed by how many people thought it was okay to run their fingers through it without permission!
venting complete

I don't mind too much when people stare, but sometimes I get those nasty stares with someone looking me up and down or a group of girls staring me up and down and coming up behind me saying loudly "Now she knows that ain't her hair" or "I hate when people get unrealistic weaves when they know there's no way their hair can be that long." At that point I'll bust out a ponytail holder or something and start playing with my hair and putting it up in a way that makes it obvious its not a weave. The catty-ness of some women when it comes to hair never ceases to amaze me.
I do sometimes find the stares disconcerting and I figure it's because of my hair but whatever. When it's open I part it down the middle so it is obvious it's real I think. I don't mind too much but it does get annoying sometimes. If I get weird stares now, what's it going to be like at WL? The women who do actually say something invariably ask if it's all mine...

I wanna be like you when I grow upI'm sorry, but my ego would be boosted I feed off of hatred
I get stares, but most people say "your hair is beautiful", then immediately after that ask "is it yours?" lol I find it so hilarious.
I had that happen to me once when I was out to lunch with a friend, but it was with my nappy bun. A lady wanted to know where I bought it because she wanted one. I told her: "I got it from a little place you might know called MY SCALP." She looked at me like erplexed and kept it moving.
She sort of gave me this sheepish grin and said: "Oh, my bad." I just turned away with a small shake of my head after that because I'd said my piece and left it at that.
I usually don't notice the stares. The people I am with usually tell me. When I was working as a cashier I got a countless number of comments from customers. "Is that all yours?" "How do you manage all of that?" "What did you do to get it like that?" And then there are the people who ask what im mixed with and tell me I have the longest hair they've ever seen on a black girl. I have also gotten some dirtty stares and snide "weave" comments before, but I just roll my eyes and go on about my business. Oh and I've had several weave checks from people running their finger through my hair and over my scalp. That is the only thing that will get me angry!
