I'm sorry. I saw this cartoon posted on a black natural hair care site that I frequent and this just cracked me up!! If I could tell you the number of times someone has asked to touch my hair or looked at me sideways when I wear my hair out in a 'fro, you would understand.

That's funny. I had a roommate in college that did hair to make some extra cash. (She was really good at it.) She tried to do my hair one day and I'll never forget what she said. "I just can't do white girl hair. I don't how y'all do it every day." Cracked me up.
LOL!!
I remember in the PJ's when girls wanted to play in my hair.
And I was just as fascinated by their's. lol
Now I have people (all races) running up on my daughter when she wears her hair out. It is thick, long, curly and everywhere wanting to touch it or comment on it.
And once this lady got on the bus and sat next to me. My children were in seats in front of us. She reached out and started touching on my daughter's hair. I was like please don't touch my child. Startled the life out of her.
I think there are so few black women wearing their natural texture, especially when the hair has any type of length on it, that people see it as exotic. This may be why it is so fascinating; as you say, to folk of all races.
