Women Play Hair Nah: Don'T Touch Black Hair

TheKpopPotato: I'm Caucasian and my friend is African American and I know she HATES when people try to touch her hair. So if I see a hand reaching for her hair and she isn't able to move away in time I karate chop there hand away like: YOU THOUGHT BISH!

Suraya Shariff: Some one asked me,"how is ur hair so curly?" I said,"Oh you know there's this thing, Idk if u heard it, Its called *being black* . They left me alone after that

gnxrly: I remember this one time I was at my locker and a girl started raking through my hair and she said this "Your hair is so soffttt, Feel how soft their hair is" Next thing I knew I had a whole bunch of people touching my hair. I was just trying to get to my next class smh

ItsRainingPuppies: as a 12 year old black girl I feel this on a spiritual level. all the time in school I have to straight up smack hands away and tell people that it's rude to touch someone without permission. like get cho nasty hands away from my hair

guyoiii: These two boys were grabbing my bun and shaking it. They got the beating of their lives

Digital Bunny Xp: Honestly I can't even say it's a white people thing. I'm black and I have long hair and I constantly have to tell other black women to not touch my hair. It's not even like they ask me to touch it.... And when I say: don't touch my hair, they seem to be confused haha It is annnnnnoooooyyyyiiinnng!!!

PrincesStabbity: When that girl asked if she could touch my hair, I said no... AND THAT BI&%H TOUCHED IT

Moya Don: “Snakes hanging from my scalp”I’m dead

M I L K I E: I'm korean, but my Natural hair is very curly. The tight curls. People always touch it and pull a curl to see it bounce. I got annoyed too, i said stop but they kept doing it. Just because curls feel nice to Play with, doesn't mean you can just go around pulling peoples curls. Stop it. So whenever someone does it i just pull their hair very harsh. And then i'll say: It's annoying, isn't it?

Selina Liu: I can sort of relate to this, even though I'm not black. I'm Chinese, but people always touch my hair and say things like, "It's so soft!" I'm sorry, but no matter how 'soft' my hair is, please don't touch it. This should apply to everyone. (coughs) Ever heard of personal space?

maya sylvia: When people do this to me, I do the same thing to them and they get so pissed

Lucia ;: I’m Mexican and me and a couple of my cousins were born with curls ‍♀️ I honestly don’t enjoy mine because I always got people touching my hair

JJ: Ikr I be like solange when she be signing "Dont touch my hair" I have people coming to the back of me trying to touch like WHAT

Attiyah: The "All Hair Matters" club got loose in the comments

Litcrybaby cry baby: my friends keep touching my hair and they tell me "its so soft" or "its so fluffy" i rly get triggered and just ignore it, but I've opened my eyes and seen that this is a real issue

Alex: Honestly I get asked this all the time as a black women but I also ask other different colored women if I can play with their hair too and sometimes they say no and that’s alright it’s all good let’s move on

Mochachiii: I honestly hate it when people touch my hair without my permission. Like bihh I know it looks soft and fluffy like 10,000 clouds but don't be touching me.

Crimson_ Cake: “It’s so soft” “It looks like snakes” “It’s so curly” “It feels so nice” “ is it your real hair” “Your weave is so cool”

PecanSandees23: I had a senior manager try to touch my hair (I had braids) at work and I slapped his hand away. My direct supervisor said "he could have you fired for that." I replied "And I can have him arrested for attempted assault." No one at that organization ever tried to touch my hair again.

Camille Schuster: I’ve touched someone’s hair before and I felt so bad because I realized how invasive it was like while my hand was reaching out. Thanks for this video guys

camryn hendrix: I wear my hair up and people be like “OMG YOUR HAIR IS SO PUFFY”. I tell him to stop I can’t feel him tugging on the back of my head, and this “OMG!! Is that weave?”

Alice: I’m white and I *HATE* when people just touch my hair so I would never touch anyone’s hair just like that, black or not that’s so freaking rude. My friend actually likes and asks me to touch it, if you don’t have permission *DON’T DO IT JUST DON’T*

C S: Not going to lie but it gets anoying when people randomly touch your hair or say your hair smells goodits just weird

Grace Kays: I'm a white teenager, but i do have natural, super curly hair. PEOPLE CAN NOT STOP THEMSELVES FROM TOUCHING IT AFTER I JUST FIXED IT TO LOOK GOOD. My own mother (who has stick straight hair) will try to BRUSH OUT MY CURLS and then complain that it always looks frizzy and I must be "doing something to it to make it look like that". I swear sometimes i cant hold back. BUT IM SCREAMING I LOVE THIS GAME ITS LITERALLY ME ALL THE TIME AHHHHHHH.

Ariel Givan: One time a boy touched my hair and I hade a puff so then I stomped on his toe and he cried forgive me lord but he was so annoying!!!!

Dario Cruz: I get this attention as a black bald man. People just wanna touch my smooth dome skin, and as a person that has sensitive skin on there scalp I gotta tell people to GTFO.

Are Sol: This is me -_- I'm not black I'm Hispanic/Latino but I believe I have some African in my genes. Anyways so I just did my hair used some nice expensive product wash day had just passed. My hair was looking good and some girl came and ran her fingers through my hair destroying all my curls! Then they go through and pick "their favorite curl". Then the try to curl it again with there finger and just make it a puffy frizzy mess. And it's like oh helllll noooooo when they try to braid it. Like excuse me plz don't touch me or yank my hair trying to braid it.

Antonia Robinson: I wanna play this and share it with others now. I can't stand when people see you as a "pet" to touch, ugh.

Μουσική Είναι Ζωή: I remember once I straightened my natural hair and I just got swarmed when i went to the bathroom. People were literally pulling it to see if it was a weave because they didn't belive that my hair was long. Even if it was a weave, how disrespectful is it to try and pull if off and "expose" people.

MS: I laughed the whole time watching this video, I legit want to play this game now. I hate it when people go and touch my hair without permission, It's like they are just drawn to do so. I almost always wear my hair natural so i try a bunch of different styles, but one day I got my hair done and it was crochet, ombre twits from burgundy to red, and I got so many compliments and looks, it was hilarious when this one lady told my mom "oh I just love your daughters hair, don't worry I wouldn't dare touching it." But I hope people know that this isn't just a white person thing, but it's also not something every white person does.

Aminata Fofana: "Hold on can't talk right now" Lmfao i died laughing

Valen Mejia: To whoever reads this, your hair is beautiful and I hope you have a great day. If you are bald, that suits many people and it is beautiful too.

BlackButlerTrash ;-;: I think everybody goes through this... I get so mad when I get my hair done and people start touching it like, " OMG ITS SOOOO SOFT!".....like please stop.....

carol: I really love when people touch my hair and do hairstyles with it, and I usually play with my friends hair because they let me do it. I don’t understand how touching a hair is considered racist

mr.samadook: It’s weird coz I’m mixed and I love it when people touch my hair. I get tingles and I feel super special. It makes me feel like people are fascinated by my hair and think it’s beautiful. But I can get why people would want personal space and stuff.

Nwunye Keke: I had faux locs done over the weekend, came into work on Monday, my director just came up to me and started touching my hair, a few seconds later my co workers joined. "Oh my goodness, it's so soft, I thought it'd be hard or rough." I felt like a panda in a zoo. "Nice girl, whoooa girl."

Melody Mastache: So, making this a sort of firsthand experience roleplay helped me step into you guys' shoes a little. I never touch people's hair if I can help it, but I do get damn curious. I have asked some probably inappropriate questions to people in the past and put them in positions to be advocates for their entire race before I knew better. Playing this game got me stressed out and I felt really harassed and invaded. You're just trying to get somewhere and people think they have a right to touch your body without your consent. I can't imagine how out of control that makes you feel on the daily, and I am so sorry if I have ever contributed to that in the past. I always try my best, but I will do better.

sara: this just reminds me of a girl who 2 years ago ( i was 13 then) just came and started touching my hair and screaming in school how my hair looked like cotton candy and how nice it was after i had dyed my hair blue. i get anxiety/panic attacks super easily so it was a danger zone for me. i cant even think how uncomfortable and anxiety triggering it can be for black people when almost everyone wants to touch their hair, when i ( someone whos hair has not really been touched by anyone out of the family) felt that way in that situation.

Zisle Montreal: LOVE this game. It's so on point. How you gonna just straight touch someone you don't know!? That urge/entitlement of ownership is DEEP...

Jenna Robinson: Hair is such a personal expression and is literally a part of who we are. Why people would think it’s ok to touch somebody’s hair without their permission is beyond me. It’s simple, hair-space invaders; if you like somebody’s hair, say, “I like your hair.” If you have questions, refer them to google- it’s a pretty good resource for hairstyle info. If you don’t like their hair, close your mouth and move your body in the opposite direction. Like mama said, “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” Not that hard.

Rascalee: God it annoys me soooo much! All of my friends, if my hair is straight or curly, will be touching my hair. I literally whack their hands away!! This game seems perfect to share the irritation x

ReBecky: I'm a curly top too, and while it happens less to my melanin lacking self, I can relate. Old ladies with boring straight hair that they have to perm just LOVE to touch and ruffle my springs without asking. Leave the monster alone, I spent 2 hours taming it. Don't touch people's hair! 5 year olds are taught to keep their hands to themselves, why can't 60 year olds follow the same rule?

ミIɳƚҽɾɠαʅαƈƚιƈ Sραƈҽ Kιƚƚҽɳ ඏ: There's a lot of work (and even pain) that goes into black hair and it's beauty. Witnessing what has to be done daily to take care of it is mindblowing and makes you appreciate black hair and black hairstyles so damn much. Being white, I had no idea there were hair types even (like 4C, 4B, etc). I'm was so clueless. Black hair is way different than white hair, but imo, it's actually more beautiful. The love that goes into it, it's fuller with lots of body, the sheen, the hairstyles! I 110% understand why it's not ok to touch someone's hair. Black hair should always be appreciated and respected. Some girls even have to take the plunge and bravely shave their heads to grow their natural hair back in healthily into a gorgeous afro. That is so BOSS. Black women are the most naturally beautiful women.

Brianna Mizhquiri: I completely feel this struggle. I have naturally kinky curly hair, and when I would wear it down everyone would come up and pull on my curls to make them bounce asking if they were real. Yes that is the way my hair naturally is. I don't have the time, patience, or energy to curl my hair every morning. It used to take me an hour and a half to straighten it, so no I'm not going to do that daily either.

Cat Kitty: So I had my hair straightened once, and this girl starts touching my hair without asking, then she asks me if it's a wig. I said no, and she's like, "are you sure?" Another time I changed my hairstyle and a girl in my class got up, walked over to me, sat back down and STARED AT ME for like 30 seconds. .......

XxBlxk MalixX: I remember one time I put my natural hair in a style that made it curly and then the next day my hair was curly and I wore it with a head band to school and so this white girl said “do you try to make you hair look short” and these two white girls that were my friend *at the time* were like “omg you can’t say that,omg why would you say that,omg that’s offensive”

dirttowater: I had a client literally do the same thing to me just yesterday. All because I changed my hair style. People just have no concept of personal boundaries.

Mondscheinfrau: Omg i can't stop laughing that such a game exists

Olivia Kirkland: Oh I didn't realise this upset people. I tend to be under sensitive to other people because I'm autistic and I know I have touched black friends hair before. I won't be doing that anymore and wanted to apologise to all black ladies that have to put up with this, your hairs very pretty and people need to learn to respect that you don't want to be touched.

QuietQueen Project: Good job you go genius I hope you make tons of money off of this please teach a young black girls to be just like you I'm proud of you sis

Dami Zepeda: Why would you touch someone's hair?! I thought everyone's mom taught their kids about personal space and respect!

Daisy campos: I can relate.. I used to have extremely long (passed my knees) thick hair all my childhood (till I was 14) and random people would come up to me and touch my hair.. and ask random questions about it

Amy M: As someone with thick curly hair, just watching that made me claustrophobic too. I've had people ask if it's real, how long does it take to flat iron, have you ever tried to flat iron it (asked a week after having it straight), "you're ears are pierced?", and all the old ladies smiling at me.....I'm a proud curly girl and I'm as pale as a ghost

bambioops’s corner: I'm hispanic and my hair is natrually really curly, this isn't just a black issue, it's not okay to touch ANYONE without permission.

CutsiePie_3890: I was once at school sitting on the bleechers talking to my friends when I felt someting on my head. I turned around and this girl was just running her fingers through my hair and when I told her to stop he rolled her eyes and turned away. I did ask her why and we talked and she apologized and stuff.

Tia D.: I had really long hair, and my mom had to start braiding it in grade school because a boy and girl in my class that sat behind me took turns cutting it through the day and made a game out of how much they could cut without me noticing. I don't have my hair loose anymore even as an adult.

Funbi Fasuba: I can totally relate to this because whenever I have my hair out or in braids EVERYONE especially at school touches my hair even teachers and it's so annoying. And if your reading this and u think it's okay to frequently touch someone's hair without permission think again

Jessica Best: Love this, as a woman with really thick hair, I hate it when this happens! I don't know you...don't touch me -_-

mera: I'm going to be honest. THESE GIRLS SLAYYYYYY

Fashionista Jane: I relate to this so much! Although it definitely does affect many black women, it is not a thing we should narrow down to only people of color, ALL people can experience this, not just a certain race.

shoro: I remember in England (in 2000’s) my mum used to to do my hair all cutesy and stuff . I would be with her shopping and remember a crowd of people touching my hair like I was Kim Kardashian xD

Parker D: I’m Caucasian and so many other races play with my hair yank it ask me if it hurts insult me for having tangled hair, people also just walk up to me a start braiding my hair even if idk them. I think it would be really cool if they included a variety of races and all different hair types

Delaney Aaron: I remember once or twice last year I was sitting on some bleachers and then this black girl I didn't know started touching my hair and was yanking them out one by one it wasn't even the "about to fall asleep" kind of hair touching.

incufish23: I'm honestly weirded out that people would just touch without asking. It's so damn impolite that it's near alien to me. Hands to yourself is a elementary school lesson lol

Princess Carinea: My hair is straight and goes down to my behind and I’ve just gotten over the fact that no one will stop asking to play with it

Kyle A.: I leave my compliments verbal! Great hairstyle today! Pretty braids and such and such. Dont. Touch. People. Without. Permission.

* pillpunch *: THANK YOU FOR THIS VID! People really be touching my hair straightend after it took 3 hours. When my hairs in braids, every bodies touching it

Kitty dollsXo: I touch white people hair all the time ‍♀️ guess it’s normal ? ?? But with me nah warn me before hand cause I could had over moisturizer that day by mistake lol

Michelle Mitchell: Keep your hands to yourself. Y'all ain't learn that in preschool or something?

Amy Strange: I get it occasionally when I get my hair cut, especially because I get it super short sometimes shaved on one side, people want to feel it XD

Shee M.: Watching you guys play this game gave me anxiety. So true. Please just ask.

Zoe Alexa: I’m white and people ALWAYS want to touch my hair so I think it just goes for every girl regardless of race. I remember when I was 12 at summer camp a girl wanted to touch and braid my hair. Last year this girl in my class started braiding my hair without asking. I just kinda thought it was a thing and it doesn’t bother me, I actually kinda enjoy it when people touch my hair Idk man

Natalie Jones: Before I cut my hair, I've had people run their hands through my hair without asking. I really don't mind. I'll even give you a brush if you want to brush it

toomuchyoutube: hold up... how has that girl never played a video game before?? it's 2017 not 1917?!

Rosebud Skerrett: I got suspended for getting into a fight over this when I was younger. Chick I didn't like ( she didn't like me either) was asking me repeatedly to touch my hair, I repeatedly told her no. I turned around and she grabbed my top knot and yanked it so hard that she snatched my head backward. I turnt around, grabbed her by her pony tail and let's just say, some jaws hit the ground.

Justina M: Grew up going to all black schools and always had my hair yanked/touched without my permission. I think its safe to assume this can happen to any race when you're the odd one out

UniqueParisasmr: You guys should do this in real life !

Angel Monroy: Literally dont touch anyones hair, thats weird

God Nut: I met momo in a field trip we went to last year! She’s really funny and out going I love her

Snakesonaframe: I've actually had people touch/feel my hair on several occasions because I keep it curled and so people do the pulling on it and watching it bounce thing, like I've had complete strangers come up behind me and just do that without saying anything to me so I had no idea they were even there and I just feel something pulling on my hair all of a sudden, I never knew how to react because they would always compliment me on my hair after. I know they didn't mean to be rude or anything, but its kinda confusing and uncomfortable to deal with. I'm sure women of color have to deal with this a lot more than me (I'm white in case you didn't look at my profile pic), so I won't claim to know exactly how it feels, but I certainly can empathise. I dont get why some people don't understand personal space. If you want to compliment someone's hair I'm sure they'd appreciate it, but you don't need to go and just invade their personal space.

qteachai: One time this girl was walking right behind me and was like "oml your hair it's soo nice and fluffy" then I realized another girl just stood there trying to untie my braids I slapped that girl's hands away from my hair

Alyssa M: When i was in school this happened all the time all these girls saying how pretty my hair is and they want it as they start pulling it down and watching it spring back to my head. The frizz was real when they wouldnt leave it alone glad im out of school now its annoying when your hair is freshly washed and already getting messed with

Nederland Nederland: What curly humans have everyday from others. -how is ur hair so thick? -i want ur hair -can we switch from hair? -how is it so soft? -how are u curls like that? -can i touch it? We know the struggles. Every curly woman has this i'm north-african moroccan.

Island Child: This comes down to "Don't invade personal space!" How on earth does adults not know that you don't ever touch someone without permission? And don't ask a stranger to touch something on their person. That said, since childhood I've been envious of black women's hair. It's gorgeous.

Shay Edwards-Betsch: I went to the beach about 2 weeks after shaving my head and I'm sitting in Taco Bell and this very old woman comes up and just starts rubbing my head and says it's good luck for her. Ever since I stg I can't go anywhere without someone talking to me and their hand slowly creep it's way to my hair.

Rachel Osei: Gosh! You guys have such amazing hair x

Kendyl Meeks: Omg I can relate I get these questions all the time! - omg how do you get to stay that way? -how do you make it curly? I want mine to be curly -its sooo poofy and soft! Can I touch it? Answer : NO WAY

The Indigo Papillon: After reading this comment section I am shocked by how many people do not understand that this is actually a problem, but here is a simple explanation for those who simply do not "get it".... As a rule of thumb, it is not ok to touch anyone without permission. Not Pregnant ladies bellies, not hair of any texture on anyone that you are not close to, not cool tattoos. My friend details cars... no one questions that we are not allowed to touch his car. That is a stinkin' car not a person's body. Other people are not there for your entertainment.

QueenJae: Just watching this I felt tense and just aggravated because it happens to me all the time..,(especially with natural hair women)

Sarah.E: Probably the best game ever made. And so relatable OMG. It's more personal when it comes to black people.

carmen casper: I'm in beauty school and an instructor real deal put hand on my hair and rubbed it like she was scratching a dog's head I was so shook and my friend was shook. She said she will never wear here real hair at school for the culture vultures to dig through.

Bailee Lane: I know how it feels bc I’m a black female in middle school and every time I get my hair done, my friends would be like... ok your hair it’s so puffy and pretty. My friends are like can u wear your hair down and I’m like I wish it was that easy

Grace Kelly: I completely understand how annoying it must be for women-of-colour with this type of hair to have to deal with this.People should DEFINITELY not just randomly touch someone’s hair.That is so not okay. I do understand where it comes from though, as many people may not have friends or people they know who are of colour and so they just want to know what it feels like. But wait for the opportunity to arise naturally and don’t just forcefully want to touch someone you barely knows hair.You wouldn’t walk up to someone with straight hair and say “can i touch it” so don’t do the same to these women.

Kandy Krush: I feel the same as a drag queen. Everyone wants to touch my hair. It’s rude to touch anyone’s hair without asking. But it’s also rude to ask. The only person to touch hair is the barber/stylist. Everyone else? Nah. No reason.

spidermanizblu3: I love this because I really hate when people touch my hair like don’t touch my hair because you will catch these hands

elsaandjack: I honestly think it’s a girl thing. I’m white and when my hair gets long everyone at my schools has to touch it. It’s just so foreign to them because I’m the only white girl at my school (don’t hear that too often do you?) I think as girls we want to experience hair that differs from our own. I don’t mind my friends playing in my hair though. I get a kick out of it when they try to do things to my hair and it never stays causing them to get mad, even though I warn them every time.

Cesia F. Ramos: When I was in middle school I went to a predominantly black school and a lot of people wanted to touch my hair, but I didn't mind. I can see where some people are bothered by it and how bothersome it can be, but when it was done to me I didn't mind :/

Maeva Hubert: This happens to me all the time and when I get upset about it they don't understand it's like we're animals being petted We spend time to make sure our hair looks good and we have people touching it We have curly hair so what we're humans too not some exotic exhibit for you to touch and look at And if you see someone with curly hair please stop with the questions like " is it your real hair " did you get a new weave" cause some of us get offended by this

You Obviously Love Oreos: This is a really creative game, I too experience people trying or touching my hair, especially from my own race, and it's kinda annoying.

Cassi Zerep: I'm Mexican and I have really long hair and one time I went to school in two braids and these two boys behind me just started touching my hair and the teacher did nothing about it!
