Hi, I'm new to this forum. I thought I'd get some advice on my experiences as a black woman with long hair. Im 21 years old. I happen to be darkskinned, around Keshia Knight Pulliam/Gabrielle Union complexion with very long hair. In my area, its not common to see black women regardless of complexion wearing her own hair, most of us are weaved up.
This past weekend when I was at the grocery market, I was at the self checkout lane when I happened to feel a presence behind me. I turned around and there was a white, middle aged woman, around 50+ literally just STARING at me as I checked myself out. Just standing behind me, staring. Creepy. Rude. I ignored her, didn't want to cause a scene. Usually I wear my hair in a ponytail but this day I decided to wear it down. My hair is quite long. I dont know if she was just admiring my hair or what. But i find it very rude to stand behind a customer and just stare at them. I have observed that older white women in this age group tend to stare and follow me around clothing/department stores a lot. When my hair was shorter, or when I wore weaves they were not quite as obvious about it. I swear I never got followed around but now that my hair has grown very long I've become a target. I also notice that I attract white guys more often. Black guys don't really approach me they just stare and keep walking. Some of them act very intimidated by me now
