I'd avoid the "Thanks, you too" option. It looks as if you feel obligated to return the favor and it doesn't feel genuine, even if it is. Just a "Thanks, I appreciate it" is enough if you want to return a neutral response while still showing validation.
Other than that, well, it really depends on your personality. You can be funny, cocky, confident, whatever. Just keep your frame.

Say "thanks" and move the conversation in a another direction.

you could over elaborate their complement. say oh yes I have the sexiest hair, I use only the best product. It's a cross between justin beiber and brad pitt but with my own sexier twist. My barber can barely contain herself when she cuts it. but you can touch it if you want.

Trump in pickup: I know hair. I have the best hair.

"Thank you, I like my hair too." Polite and oh so subtle cockiness.

"I like your hair"

Say "thanks" and move on.
[–]CrushHazard 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes. Use it as a springboard for actual conversation.
"Thanks! What are you drinking?"
"Thanks! What brings you here?"
"Thanks! So what's happening?"

A simple thanks is good, you could also make a joke too. Yea you like it, I just got highlights last week, it takes time to look this good. the cocky funny route always worked for me.

Say "thank you." no need to reciprocate immediately as a response.
[–]stilettonyc 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Keep it simple with a "thank you." Politeness and manners go a long way.

"you wanna touch it?"
[–]cmatute -1 points0 points1 point 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
You get playful. "I like your hair" "Yeah my hair is the shit. Just look at it"
Just no...so douchey. Ugh, KJ all over the place.

I treat compliments like a shit test. She is testing your frame to see if you get all self-conscious as a result, or overly modest, or cocky, or any of the above. You should immediately turn it into a joke and then forget she said it a moment later. Or fall back on agree and amplify, i.e. "yeah i know, i'm turning down movie offers all the time because of my hair".

No, no and no. A compliment is her way of showing initial interest. Nothing more, nothing less. If you come off as an arrogant douche, that interest will go away. Then you've just failed.

Just once, I wish someone on Reddit would read my comment before replying to it.

What makes you think I didn't read it?
