I never had a stranger come up and touch my hair. I don't know how I would feel about it. I guess it would depend on the person, the situation, and the whole vibe. I have a pretty small comfort circle and social anxiety, but if the person was nice, and just curious..I don't think I would mind in the slightest. After all strangers are just family you have yet to come to know.

When I had shorter hair, I would scrunch it to get 3a curls every day. The kid sitting behind me in class would always spring one of my curls and watch it bounce back up. I knew the kid, wasn't exactly great friends with him. But he was really nice and just seemed to really like my hair and I never said a word, I just smiled, at least my hair can bring joy to others as well. That's always a good thing.
