I compliment people all the time on their hair-and virtually anything else that I genuinely admire about them. (I draw the line at "Your husband`s hot!" and "I wish my @$$ looked that great in jeans!") With strangers that tends to be just their appearance, since I know little else about them. I live in Michigan, and when I`ve complimented long hair or fun hair styles, I usually get friendly reception. A couple people have had expressions that scream "you are really weird" but when that happens I say, "Well I`m growing out my hair and I`d like it to look like yours; how do you get it like that?" Then they`re usually more than willing to open up. Once you`ve made someone feel like an expert in a particular subject, such as haircare, they will want to share what they know. It`s a sincere form of flattery. And it also helps if you need help from a store employee or cashier who looks a little frosty. You can brighten their day AND maybe find out what they use on their great hair.
