Most natural black women don't like their hair to be touched. I am no exception. Mainly because you don't know me that well and I don't understand why you feel the need. I did grant an exception to this allowance while in Mexico. On a tour of some Mayan ruins, an Indian woman was quite captivated by my hair and asked to touch it. I think it was her genuine curiosity, lack of English, and the chance for a photo which made me give in:
I'm not sure which was more intriguing to her, the texture of my hair or the color. An Indian colleague of mine told me that in India the hair color I was currently rocking was achieved using a plant (not henna) and he wanted to know how I did mine. I felt honored to be this woman's first exposure to locs and hoped it was a good one for her.
Hope you had a good time on your travels. Loving the outfit. I was certainly looking forward to an update from you and now there are three!! Only had the one 'toucher' so far but it doesn't half get people talking hahha
