Compliments

Why are compliments so hard to just accept graciously???

I recently had a friend pay a compliment to my hair, here's how the conversation went...

Friend:  Your hair looks very nice today, you must be growing it out!
Me:  I don't know...I always keep it long.
Friend: Well maybe you're wearing it down and you usually wear it up?
Me: No, I always wear it down.
Friend: Hmmm...
Me:  Well, I curled it today, and blow dried it and stuff.
Friend:  That must be it!  It looks nice.
Me:  Thank you!

I think I should probably be mortified right???  At the time I was just feeling being honest, not difficult, but as I looked back on it, I thought I should have taken the compliment and been happy to receive it.  It didn't need analyzing...

My goal will be to learn how to take a compliment and feel like I deserved it instead of feeling like I didn't...any suggestions on how to do that?  :D
