Well, it depends...Are you an African-American or mixed w/ African American??? I ask this b/c some Black or Biracial (mixed w/ Black) folks are just as much in the dark about topics like this as some Caucasians are...When I lived in the dorms on my campus, I used to get tons of questions about my hair, esp. since one day I would be wearing "Individual Braids" and the next day I wouold be sporting a bob...Usually questions or comments like "Wow--your hair is so LONG!" [when I'm wearing Braids, which are extensions]...

As long as you ask questions tactfully then I don't mind...But folks start asking stuff like "What are you doing to your hair?"--when you see me massaging my wet hair with Shampoo in it--Come On Now--how dumb can you be????!!! Folks also asked the same question when I was Blow-drying my hair--WTF does it look like I'm doing?!

I'm black with a garden variety of other stuff in me, and that affects my hair texture. For some odd reason people usually think I'm Indian/Arabic/Hawaiian :eek:, so therefore when I ask these "stupid questions" black folks usually get offended, eventhough I am black myself. :confused:
