combing hair
Smoothing tangled locks
Combing hair is drawing a comb through hair to smooth, untangle, or arrange it.
The phrase often implies routine grooming: She spent ten minutes combing her hair before leaving.
To comb through something more broadly means to search it carefully and systematically: Detectives combed through the evidence.
