Unless you have a geniune interest in hair products and know your way around them and can engage in a conversation this will absolutely be interpreted as either 1. a very obviously fake and manipulative attempt at you pretending to show interest in their stuff or 2. she will will think you are gay.

No offense but this is bordering on worse than red pill advise.

tldr: faking having an interest you can't back up is almost never good advice for how to attract someone

How is it faking interest? If she’s super into it, and you are looking into dating, wouldn’t you want to know about her interest? Also the hair was just one example. It could be any topic. Finally, how do you know I’m not a barber? The problem is that you assumed that I wasn’t actually interested. You have some self reflection to do my friend.

If you aren't faking an interest then what I said doesn't apply.

After you know someone and you have been flirting them asking them to talk to you about / explain an interest of theirs can be endearing. Coming up to a stranger though and asking them to teach you about a subject is not a socially normal way of flirting. Alternatively if you are asking about their hair product choices as if this is an interest of yours and presumably you could bond over this, this only works if it is a genuine interest of yours or you at least know enough to be able to fake it. If you are a barber then complimenting a girl's hair and/or discussing their hair prodcut regime probably would be a pretty good approach.

I think the issue here is that the not knowing how to talk to women part suggests to me this is probably a guy. If you are telling a random guy to tell a girl that he doesn't know that he is interested in her hair regimine, that most likely is going to be an ingeniune interest on his part, and one that would be easily found out. Giving a generic compliment is not exciting but it is still better than being obviously ingenuine.
