Honestly, I've seen people whose hair I'd love to stroke - including little kids - and I wouldn't ask about that, either!
Heh. People pet my hair all the time. Usually little kids and old people, but occasionally squeeing teenagers. It's very long (down to my thighs) and very purple, and I think that people sort of forget their manners when they see it.
In the case of my hair, I'm a little more lenient about strangers touching it. Context is everything. The little kids petting it and asking if I'm a fairy are adorable. The little old lady absently fiddling with it on the bus while she talks wistfully of when her daughter wore her hair long is very sweet. Even the squeeing teenagers are rather charming.
The creepy guy or the scary girl or anyone who makes me feel uncomfortable, though? Get yelled at every time. Because it really does come down to "My body. You can not has."
