Ofcourse you weren't rude, my reflex response would have been to slap the flat iron away from my hair...
You have to be like that with mall people sometimes! I was at a high-end mall in NOVA, making a quick stop and about to go home, and some man LITERALLY RAN after me in the mall with a flat iron!! I had to tell him off in the store. All the ...... white people (there's just no other way to say it) were stopping and staring at me. I was like no you don't come after my hair like that! I know you have lost your everloving mind fool! He told me that I'd be so much prettier if I straightened my hair. Hmph! I told him I might be in some high-falutin (sp?) siddity place, but I'm from East Oakland and don't get it twisted, you will be handled! Take one more step...... He went away. Gurl, got my blood pressure all up!!! Anyway, I think you handled yourself just fine!

Was it Tyson's Corner mall?
*RAISES HAND* Thankfully I'm a lawyer. I've got the bondsman's number on speed dial!You handled it just fine. Some of our LHCF sistahs though....well, let's just say we may have been asking for donations for Mookie's Bail Bonds!
So curly or kinky hair automatically needs to be straighten in order to look prettier?!?!?
Man we got a lot of educating to do about ALL hair being pretty as long as it is healthy, I could say more but I won't.
I have had these people come at me in a few malls, I don't visit malls often now but when I do I am on high alert going past kiosks, the phone guy, hair guy and the hand lotion guy or girl you could get a complex and catch a case with a quickness because of their agressiveness.
