I believe that some people who know how to keep in good health often take combing their hair as a self-care method and the main way of keeping in good health.

According to relevant historical records, the first thing Empress Dowager Cixi does after getting up every day is to let the eunuch comb her hair with a special comb, which makes her still have a full head of hair when she is in her sixties. Therefore, when sending a comb, it means wishing that person a long and healthy life and eternal youth.

If couples give each other combs, it means that they want to marry each other for a long time. Legend has it that in the past, if a girl got married, her family would comb her hair. Of course, this is also a custom that is still circulating today. This not only represents the family's deep blessing to the girl, but also hopes that the girl can grow old with the right man in her heart.

Our romantic feelings even spread to other countries thousands of years ago, and the custom of sending combs on Valentine's Day in China has been handed down. Up to now, some old Japanese custom-made wooden combs are still in short supply on Tanabata.
