I was thinking about how in middle school I used to wear my natural hair in twists. It’s was back when my hair was really long. Everyday I’d have classmates coming up to me to tug on my hair and watch it bounce. Sometimes they’d ask first, most of the time they did not.
By high school I cut my hair and had an Afro. People would often touch it and usually mess up how I styled it that morning.
Now I’m in college and I constantly get questions asking me if my hair is real. People call my Ice Spice to my face and while laughing secretly, even tho I can still hear them. Mind you I look nothing like Ice Spice, we just happen to both have afros. I’m much darker than she is.
I guess my point is that most do not know how to be normal about black hair. Sometimes it’s balanced out from the amount of compliments I get on it. But it’s exhausting when the majority of people either see my hair as a toy to be played with or the butt of a joke.
