Afrocentric flair or dread swaying hair styles, waving in sets or crazy crackling curls, silky straight or permed; we all have different hair types. Raised in a place where your hair is the norm, it can be difficult to move into a new environment and the move can be a culture shock for not only you but to the people around you. There may be few who can relate to your hair treatment methods and people in your new surroundings may be curious about your hair. Some people may have the audacity to touch it as though your hair were their own. Overwhelmed with curiosity, your new found friends may not notice that they are being disrespectful but its okay, tell them how you feel, and say “Please do not touch my hair.“ They should respect that.
