Textures are fascinating. I like touching people's hair in general; it's neat as long as it isn't full of goop. (I ask first.) So far this hasn't happened to come up with any black people except one I was dating whose hair I could consequently touch very incidentally, but yeah, this is supposedly a thing and it would make me nervous about asking a black friend if I could touch their hair.
Try to Feel It My Way, a book about touch-dominant people-- those who have touching as a major way of relating to the world.
I have no idea what you look like, but despite that I just had a mental image of you looking absolutely enraptured staring at someone else's hair, and playing with it sort of like a cat might (I have never had a cat). This amused me a lot.
I'm sure I've cat-batted hair in the past, but I'm more likely to braid it or just pet it.
(Cats are known to bat at my hair, though!)
