Why were you offended by that? Sounds like a silly lady with little memory, but not malice. I mean granted, that mess gets annoying, but I wouldn't be mad unless they said something derogatory like "I heard you can't wash those" or something like that.
I wasn't mad I was annoyed. Today she asked me again, "Are those hair extensions?" as she walks up to me and touches my hair. I just gave her the "We ain't cool like that" look, and she backed off. Then she says "So how long did it take to put those 'things' in your hair?". When I told her she made a really smug face and began to comment on how she didn't think that any hairstyle is worth that kind of time, and asked if my hair would start to dred since I can't comb it, and yada, yada, yada. So I asked if was she was interested in getting her hair braided since she was asking so many questions about them (knowing damn well she wasn't). Then she just said Oh I was just asking and walked off.
Maybe I did take too much offense to it, or maybe she does not know how to be inquisitive without coming out sounding ignorant.
