OK, I understand what a kiruv queen is now- as I wrote in my meme answers, my husband's grandmother always used to tell me how nice I looked wearing a hat. I knew this was because she really wanted me to wear one all the time. I felt bad that I couldn't accomodate her, she's such a sweet woman.

I don't mean it negatively, but when certain people tell you your hair looks nice, you automatically think that there is an unspoken undertone.

Are they women who do a lot of outreach and try to help other Jews become more religious? At the risk of sounding dumb, what exactly are “kiruv queens”?

I personally think it's weird to come into shul without something on your head (even a wide headband), but I don't see them as more or less religious. When someone says that (for example) they don't have a problem eating in a non-kosher place as long as they only eat food that isn't treif (e.g. pasta or vegetable soup out of the country), that makes me feel less comfy with their level of observance... I have tried to explain to people why they might really be eating treif once or twice, but haven't really gotten useful results.
