Grooming one's hair.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In traditional Lithuanian culture, a girl's hair was her pride. Combing hair was a social activity among sisters and friends, often accompanied by singing 'dainos'. Lithuanians value a 'tvarkinga' (tidy) appearance. Leaving the house with uncombed hair is often seen as a sign of laziness or lack of self-respect. Hair was believed to hold magical properties. Combing was seen as a way to clear one's thoughts and maintain spiritual order. Historically, before a wedding, the bride's braids would be unbraided and combed one last time as a symbol of leaving her maidenhood.
