I was not out to afeind you. My point is it is easy to caress a ponytail of loose hair. My whole point was that however you want to appoach "hair feeling" is to do the compliment thing. For example the customer I talked about. I helped them ;oad their car then complimented them about their hair then I would ask permission t feel their hair and they were happy to lift up their hair to me and allow me to stroke it. I fully understand your position. This girl happened to be a spontanious moment as were the other two girls.
Sometimes you have to thin k out of the box.
