I always think combing someone's hair is the nicest way to show affection of all time. Touching someone's pride and combing it with all of your caring heart and patient - nothing can defeat that most underrated action of love.
Mother Mary probably had always been combing Jesus' hair when He was young, before and after he went studying or playing. She had also, perhaps, combed her son's hair on the first day He went away for His mission and on those days He visited home after journeys and journeys with his disciples and people. Mother Mary may had combed Jesus' hair while having no knowledge of the day His hair shall be tangled with thorn crown and coated with dust that He shall had after hundreds of time collapsing down to the ground, for He will be tortured and ripped off. No one prepared her for this but probably she did comb Jesus' hair one last time before she placed Him in the tomb, just like the way she had always embraced Him from the beginning, she welcomed and prepared Him to the end of age.
Jesus - on the other hand - He knew what shall happen and maybe had grown up with a fear of how His life as human shall end, however when those little 'uneccesary' moments come to His life on earth - like sitting next to His "ima" and letting her comb His hair, God's hair - definitely Jesus had enjoyed them very much, the embracement of a human to God which had truly felt like the embracement of a mother to her most dearly offspring, which definitely did give Him a rest in mind, so that when He was on the cross, He had memories like such to go back and find peace there.
