7 Things White People Don’t Understand About Black Hair

October 18th, 2011 - By Renay Alize


1- We don’t want you to touch our hair because we’re human beings not some type of specimen in a zoo

I have no problem with people touching my hair… if they ask. As a stranger to walk up and touch someone’s hair… or anything on their person for that matter is rude. I understand curiosity and I’m into texture so I like to touch people’s hair too. But for the love of God ask first. Don’t let your curiosity get you cussed out. I do believe Biebs asked to touch Esperanza’s hair in the photo above but still black women felt a little twinge about it.

    If I wear my hair straightened one day and natural the next, I’ve had people ask me if I have gotten a haircut. No, my hair just coils back up into its natural curls.

    I’m white and I can’t believe people ask these questions. I couldn’t imagine just walking up to a stranger and touching them??

    I’m white and I can’t believe people actually ask these questions. I could never imagine just walking up to somebody and touching them like that??

    Some white ppl have bi racial kids so to generalize them all is a stereotype, just like believing all Black ppl know how to take care of there natural state of hair.I know Asians who braid better than som Black ppl.
