In order to highlight hair in GIMP you need to start the program. Go to the "File" menu and click "Open". In the appeared window select the image on your computer and press "OK".

Now you have to switch into the quick mask mode. Go to the "Select" menu and choose the "Toggle Quick Mask" option or use keyboard shortcut "Shift+Q".
