1) 梳头发 means “to comb one´s hair",it doesn't mean "to braid one´s hair or to add embellishment to it". 2)- He combs himself: 他自己梳头发。 Yes,it's correct,but we say 他给自己梳头发 more often. - He combs his dog: 他梳头发他的狗 or 他给他的狗梳头发？ It's incorrect,because dog's hair is 毛 ,not 头发in Chinese. -He brushes his dog : 他在给他的狗刷毛。 3)In Chinese,梳子is a comb or a human hair brush,刷子is a paint brush or an animal hair brush or other brush,like toothbrush.In a word,梳子is used for hunam hair in general.

Hi me again > < 1 to comb = 梳(理) to brush = 刷 when it's human, brush someone's hair/comb someone's hair = 梳头发 don't use 刷头发 to people 刷毛(brush fur) is used for animals, like dogs and cats. in chinese 刷 is more harsh than 梳 so for animals 刷 for humans 梳 我帮你梳个头发 also can mean give your hair a nice look(and it includes braid your hair). you can also use 整理头发 = arrange someone's hair specific to braid hair = 绑头发／编头发 2 He combs himself = 他自己梳的头发 我梳了/过头发 = i have combed my hair. 我在梳头发 = i am combing my hair. 我梳过头发了 = I have combed my hair. *Usually add a 了／的／过 in between 梳 and 头发 He brushes his dog = 他在刷狗毛 (but sounds really weird in Chinese) usually say: 他在帮/给他的狗刷毛 = He is helping his dog to brush its hair. 3 刷子 = brush 梳子 = comb the brush for drawing painting is also called 刷子 but need to notice in chinese we don't use 刷子 for hair 梳子 is a comb and a hair brush can also be called 梳子 so hair comb = 梳子 hair brush = 梳子 as well hair brush ≠ 刷子 paint brush = 刷子／笔刷

你好，Vika。梳头发 means “to comb/ brush one´s hair“，这样理解是对的。 刷一般指“用油漆刷墙”，或指“用刷子（不说“梳子”）清洗”，比如“刷鞋子”、“刷马桶”，前者用鞋刷，后者用马桶刷。你不能说“梳鞋子”或“梳马桶”，“梳”只用于头发，而“梳理”可以用语动物的毛发。 He combs his dog.指的是“他给他的狗梳理/打理毛发”，狗不长头发。 “梳子“和“刷子”是不同的，把刷子翻译成“hair brush”是错的，我觉得应该翻译成“paint brush/toilet brush“。 I don't know if you can read Chinese. But I think it's better off explaining your question in your target language, by which you can get a better understanding of the question from the Chinese perspective. 希望有所帮助！
