Growing up Hispanic and our superstitions, we were always told that if we admire something that belonged to someone else, we have to touch it, so we wouldn't give it "ojo". Well today, I can't even count how many ppl came up to me and admired my hair, because of the natural gray and the thickness of it, and they would ask if they could touch it and if they didn't ask, best belive that I asked them to touch it. Lol
