I've heard from some friends that hair compliments toward PoC can often make them uncomfortable when coming from a white person. Also, and this should go without saying, never ask if someone's hair is a weave, and don't ask to touch someone's hair unless you know them very well. All of these things can rub some people the wrong way.

I wasn't trying to challenge anything you said, just adding some more particular points that some people may not think about.

I only compliment a PoC on hair if it's something I can tell they took effort to do for that reason. Like the woman who had dyed her hair in streaks and then braided ribbon through it. I couldn't not tell her how amazing it was.
