combing one's hair
Detangling morning bedhead
Combing one's hair is the act of drawing a comb through the hair to arrange, untangle, or style it.
The phrase often appears in contexts about daily grooming routines or personal appearance: She was combing her hair when the phone rang.
Figuratively, to comb through something is to search it carefully, though this sense drops the possessive.
