I get questions about DD's hair a lot. I think whites think if they ask about hers instead of mine that it is more acceptable. DD has a LOT of shrinkage so her twists are super springy and stretchable. I've had them ask if her twists are real because they stretch so much. Once she had to go straight to a school play from ice skating. Her team wears phony ponies, white girls too. She was wearing her straight, flipped up pony (with a pilgrim costume, no less, lol) and one of the mothers asked me if it was her hair. When I flat iron her hair I can see the stares, especially from the people who usually see her in the shorter looking twists. Her (white) friends at school ask if and why doesn't she wear an Afro.
I've also had white mothers ask me if I thought their daughter's hair could hold cornrows.
