Why do you comb your hair when you get married? What is the moral?

This is because in ancient times and even in modern times, women have always maintained a tradition that once they get married, they have to roll up their hair high, and they can't let it down except when they sleep, and they can't leave bangs.

So whenever a woman is going to get married, her good friends or girlfriends, who were relatives in the old days, should invite the soon-to-be-married woman to have a meal to comb her hair. It means that this is the last meal she had at their house when she was a girl. When you come home for dinner, you will be someone else's daughter-in-law. If you can't eat, it depends on the local customs. Some places think that the water spilled by the married girl can't come back to her family for dinner. So this comb my hair meal is somewhat likely to never meet again. It also means to comb my husband's hair from now on.

As for hairstyles, there were strict rules for married women's hairstyles in ancient times. Different hairstyles were combed according to "xianggong"' s grade and family background, and they should be made into a bun with hair oil. They should not be scattered around, or they would be taught by their in-laws and laughed at by outsiders, which was considered as a kind of dissolute performance.
