Best way to compliment a woman on her hair?

I wouldn’t come right out and say it… strike up conversation first and make it known that you are flirting a bit. If she’s receptive, then say something like, “Well it’s been nice to talk to you. Here’s a medium decaf for the lady with the beautiful (raven, golden, etc.) locks!”

Here is the latest suggestion from my wife: “man, your hair looks great. i love that style”. she states this is very appropriate and does not indicate that you are hitting on her. its just a compliment. whatever happens after this point, is UP TO YOU.

You should say “Goodmorning, that is really beautiful hair, did someone do that for you?” When she answers ask something else. When asking make good facial expressions to show that you are really interested.

“Excuse me, are you going to pay for that hiny.” Haha (humour always a good ice breaker.) “May I say that’s a charming blouse you’re wearing.”......waits for flight or fight response. If positive move in for the killer line. “Your hair would look fascinating as my reins when I ride you from behind.” Result ,visit burns unit for multiple tissue damage from the coffee she most probably flung in your face. Better try relate!

i would greet her and tell her “hey bye the way i really like your hair.were did you get it done.i might have to go get mine done there” or something like that.

“Lady, you got fine hair, the kind you fine on a goat’s ass!”

Just kidding, simply say, “you have very beautiful hair!” And go from there!

“Wow, that is one great set of tits you have there!”

@ChazMaz LMAO!

Not often, but every once in a while, I see a lady in a public place who looks really nice to me and I just take a chance and say, “Your smike really made my day” or “Great outfit!” or something general like that. I never comment on hair or specific physical attributes, just keep my compliment light and non-threatening. I always get a nice reaction.

Smile, darnit, not SMIKE!

If someone said to me “Excuse me, but I just can’t help telling you that you’re hair is very beautiful and reminds me of a…” (fill in the blank), it would be hard not to smile and say thank you —even if I was not interested in the fellow. A good ice-breaker too. Then you can follow with “so how is your day going” or “so, how was your day?” and leave it at that, or change the subject to “so what can I get you?” and move on if she looks a little nervous.

Warning: Make sure the compliment cannot be misinterpreted in any shape or form.

Sounds nicer than saying something light and witty like “here comes the lady with the _____ hair” which may startle or embarrass.

I usually say, “your hair is fantastic,” or gorgeous, or something to that effect. I often admire women with great hair, because mine is thin and getting thinner. If it is a great cut or color I might ask for her hairdressers name. But many times it is simply the amount of hair they have and how healthy it looks. But I am a woman, so it is a little different. Still, I get compliments on my eyes and and other parts of me, haha it happened more when I was younger, and if the person just comes straight out with the compliment and there is no sexual tone in their voice, it is received well.

Keep it simple. “I really like your hair.” And smile. If I were the woman in question I would try to start up conversation, or at least come back for as much coffee as I could tolerate:)

How about, “Your hair is great – it reminds me of a lion’s mane’?

@janbb Loll..bet that would go over like “lead balloon!”

Really?

@janbb maybe not…who knows..depends on the girl!

Thanks, all..some funny stuff..I thought about giving her my analogy (the mane) but really want it to be (sadly) just polite and succinct. She appears to me to be nice person, probably could take a joke, but I hesitate to second-guess; and you know what they say about first impressions….She takes great care with her hair, that is obvious, I dont want to demean it at all. It might not matter anyway, as I feel she is out of my league (sigh) not sure what league Im in anymore…..

@BluRhino: You never know until you try. I would go for it!

tell her it looks better than it did the day before.

She’ll think you are gay. Unless you have an inside joke about it- then just come up and say something about it

Just tell her it’s beautiful. I’m a hairstylist and trust me, most women put a lot of effort in to their hair and just LOVE to be told it looks good!

I don’t know what the best way is, but my move is…

(While looking intently at her hair.)

“What’s wrong” she asks.

“You know…you hair really looks nice.”
