How do i politely tell strangers && ppl i kno not to stick their dirty hands in my fro?? I've been havin this problem a lot lately now that my fro is gettin bigger i'll have complete strangers reach && touch my hair then ask if its ok after they have already touched it.

I dont wanna be overly mean && jus smack their hands away but idk wat else 2 do...

You should do a matrix move and swivel your head out of their hands way or if they look like their going to attempt to do it, then you should tell them that you don't really like people touching it. Its not being mean, just honest. Or you could stand out of reach so they won't have the opportunity or they would have to step forward to do it.

Most of the time I do not say anything when my family members or friends do it since some people are just fascinated by natural hair, but I would just tell them (nicely) that you would prefer it if they would not touch your hair without asking.  Sometimes being simple and direct is the best option and most people should not get offended Smile.

If it would make you feel more comfortable, you could always make up an excuse like a sensitive scalp or allergies.

They were rude enough to stick their hands in your head, just tell them not to do the ish again. You don't know them like that

I'm the queen of making awkward situations... I would stop, look at them and reach out and run my fingers through their hair to make it messy and just give em a big blank googly eyed blinks.....Stern Smile

 
 
I would dish it back on an extreme level...
