المعنى
To arrange one's hair with a comb.
خلفية ثقافية
In ancient Germanic culture, hair was a symbol of vitality. Combing was not just hygiene but a social ritual. Being 'gekämmt' (combed) is a prerequisite for 'ordentlich' (orderly) behavior in schools and offices. The character 'Struwwelpeter' is the most famous example of what happens when you *don't* comb your hair.
The Reflexive Rule
Always remember 'mir' or 'dir'. Saying 'Ich kämme die Haare' sounds like you are combing a wig or someone else's hair detached from their body.
Comb vs Brush
Germans are precise. If you have a brush in your hand, use 'bürsten'. Using 'kämmen' will make them look for a comb.
