뜻
Untangling hair with a comb.
문화적 배경
Traditional Vietnamese women used to wash their hair with 'bồ kết' (locust fruit) and then comb it while it was still damp to keep it shiny and black. There is a folk belief that you should not comb your hair at night in front of a mirror, as it might invite ghosts or bad luck. The 'Ivory Comb' (Chiếc lược ngà) is a famous story where a comb represents the bond between a soldier father and his daughter. Long, neatly combed hair was historically a sign of a 'con nhà lành' (a girl from a good family).
Use 'Chải đầu'
If you want to sound more like a local in Hanoi, use 'chải đầu' instead of 'chải tóc'.
Avoid 'Đánh'
Never say 'đánh tóc'. It sounds like you are hitting your hair with a stick!

Tone Practice
Practice the 'hỏi' tone in 'chải' carefully; if you say it with a flat tone, it sounds like 'chai' (bottle).
