How is the woman's hair like a flock of goats?

Song of Solomon 6:5 (ESV)

5 Turn away your eyes from me, for they overwhelm me Your hair is like a flock of goats leaping down the slopes of Gilead.

The man's reference to the woman's hair as a flock of goats is a repeat of Song of Solomon 4:1 and once again draws attention to how her hair falls on her shoulders.
