Brushing or Combing at Nighttime

While it is common practice for girls these days to comb their hair before going to bed, in the olden days of our grandparents, combing or brushing your hair at nightime or during evening, meaning from sunset, is a no-no. They say that it is bad because you are calling on omens to bring you bad news and events. Some old folks will even tell the youngsters that brushing after sunset will cause hair loss, or worse, baldness.
