To suggest hair products/tips to someone that you don't know but see once a week? Her hair is terrible and dry as all hell.

Maybe strike up a convo first? Then lead into hair?
I offered to wash, condition and braid one of my students hair. She has beautiful hair but it is tangled and dry. I am going to call and ask her mom. I think mom works alot.

I agree with ShiShiPooPoo cause otherwise she could become defensive or get upset. Know that she doesn't know the hair potential of good products, reggies and techniques. She may try to say everybody is mixed if you refer her to youtube or here so be prepared. I have friend who has a friend who keeps weaves/braids in 6 months or longer (doesn't regularly wash ,her hair smells sour, and she's a nurse) and as a result has suffered hair loss, no matter how gentle my friend was with the subject she got defensive, upset and clammed up. So she stopped bringing it up. Needles to say she still does this mess and that was about 8-10 yrs ago.

Yes that's very rude. I would say it would be seen as over stepping your boundaries. If the hair convo came up by that person only then I would share but if not I wouldn't. There is more to life than dry hair never know what a person is dealing with and what could be seemingly nice to you could be yet another issue for someone else.

dont randomly bring it up. try to strike up convo. start with something beauty related like makeup or nails than somehow bring it over to your hair. like "i did my nails so late last night. and i was planning on washing and treating my hair when i got home but i was just too tired, i should have though, you know, to keep my hair looking nice". Then pray that she's not slow and she comments on your hair.

Honestly, it's like one of those things, like pointing out someone that has skin problems or weight problems. Like one woman assuming another woman is pregnant because she's puffy or whatever. You never know how that ship may sail so....unless you're that cool, I'd leave it alone.

Her hair looks like she doesn't know how to care for it. Shes a young thing ballet teacher for my daughter's dance class. Her body is in incredible shape and she exudes confidence. She has a super valley girl accident, more so than me and I get that all the time and she styles her hair in white girl styles. I guess I'm mentioning the accent cause of the white girl hairstyle... she sounds white. If she only knew what her hair is capable of

I wouldn't. Unless folks approach me about hair I keep my observations to myself. Even when they do approach me and are inquiring about my hair and are making no mentions of their hair, when I think theirs looks terrible, I still wont say anything specific about their hair. That conversation can go so wrong.

VERY RUDE!
I suffer from acne and it's aggravating, embarrassing and hurtful for someone pointing out my skin, asking about my skin and/or telling me tips, tricks and suggestions. Someone even ordered me some Mary Kay acne spot treatment cream without asking for it. But the thing is, my dh had cancer years ago and we had a scare recently and my face flared up as a result. I tried explaining to the "concerned folk" my scenario but they swear their remedy would clear things right on up. NOT.
Another example - when my dh was battling cancer, I let my hair go because that was not a priority. Folks often prioritize based on what they are dealing with in life.
If you become friends and you find her hair's health is from lack of knowledge, then go for it. Otherwise, just let it be. You can't save everybody.
