I think combing your hair is also a health-keeping activity that is beneficial to your physical and mental health. It is recorded in "Beating Life": "Hair is blood, once a day, dredging blood vessels and dispersing rheumatism." Jin Jikang also mentioned in "On Health": "In March of spring, comb your hair one or two hundred times every morning, and you will live a long life."

Chinese medicine believes that a person's head has many meridians and is known as the "Sect of Hundred Veins". Regular combing of hair can play a role in massaging acupoints. Chinese medicine also says that meridians connect the five zang-organs and six fu-organs, and the transportation of qi and blood needs the transportation of meridians.
