Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

We arent trying to be rude. We just want to see how it feels. Like me for instance, I cant understand when you get your hair up and looking pretty, how does it not go flat when you go to sleep?

Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

I have to say, I am white, but I have a neice who is black (she was adopted). My brother makes quite a bit of money so she likes to go and have different things done with her hair and I am guilty of wanting to touch it, it's because I love it and not for any other reason. I have had my hair done and people will say "your hair looks so soft" and they will touch it, it doesn't bother me.

I find a lot of black people to be very attractive and the different hairstyles black women have is quite interesting and I would love to touch it, but I don't (only my neice).

I can understand why you would think it's rude, but it's out of curiosity and when people want to touch it, take it as a compliment but tell them you don't like other people touching your hair.

Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

I would guess because of the intricate designs and styles used in black women's hair. Many white women do not have hair that can be easily molded into small works of art or sculptures. I have seen some beautiful dos in my day. I have never touched anyone's hair however. My son has a similar problem, whenever we meet a Hispanic or Phillipino woman they will touch his blonde curls and in hispanic culture it is kind of like bleesing him, or so I've been told.

Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

I don't think this is true. I have never asked a black woman if I could touch her hair and I have never seen any white person ask a black person if they could touch their hair. Who are your co-workers? Next time they ask just say no, you spent a lot of time on your hair and you don't want people touching it. Or you could tell them that you think it's really weird that they are always asking to touch your hair.
