* Do not touch my hair. I shouldn’t have to explain but I’m going to. 1. I don’t want uninvited hands in my hair. It took me a good 20 min to get my fro shaped just right. How would you feel if I ruffled your hair? 2. Didn’t you just pick your nose/eat some fried chicken/use the bathroom and didn’t wash your hands?

*Don’t ask me how/if I comb it.

*Don’t assume I’m part of any religious group.

*Don’t ask me if I’m going to wear my hair like that.

*Don’t ask me how do I do that?

*Don’t offer me a perm/ texturizer. Would you like for me to offer you some scissors?

*Don’t take my picture.

*Don’t assume because I look “ethnic” that I’m going to rob you.

*Don’t fear me. I would have kicked your azz with a perm if it were necessary.

*Don’t assume that I’m unprofessional/uneducated.

*Don’t offer me grease/oil sheen. Nappy hair is not meant to shine. When was the last time you seen shiny fro?

*Don’t say you speak well! What does that mean? Oh because my hair is nappy that must mean that I’m uneducated?

*Don’t try to joke my hair. It doesn’t work. Did it ever once dawn on you that I like being the nappy bald headed chick!?

*Don’t offer me unsolicited how-to recommendations, products, techniques.

*Don’t stare too long. I’m not sure what the long stare is for. This applies to everyone.

*Don’t assume that I’m a lesbian, just came out the closet, or is bisexual. Since when does a hair cut determine your sexual preference?

*Don’t accuse me of being faddish.

*Yes, I wash my locs/hair.

WHEW! THAT’S IT...FOR NOW.
