I ...It depends on where you are looking at it from. I don't think it is nice to touch a stranger's hair, no matter how curious you are. However, some people have asked me for permission to touch my hair, and you can see the longing curiosity in their eyes. To be honest, I hardly wear my hair out, in all its glory, cos it would draw so much attention than I could handle. On time, I went to a local market to buy herbs, and when the older women realised my hair wasn't kinky braids, but my real hair twisted up, there were pulling it left, right, and centre, as it was really elastic. I think that's the most intrusive experience I ever had.<br /><br />As to the campaign, I don't see much wrong with it. It wasn't just natural hair on display. There was also weaves and dreads. I believe it was an experiment. Obviously, the natural hair had the most touches, because it inspired the most curiosity. Anyway, just my opinion.African Naturalistashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959650242643247597noreply@blogger.com
