28. Humaid Al-Himyari — who is Ibn 'Abdur-Raḥmān said: "I met a person who accompanied the Prophet ﷺ just like Abū Hurairah did. He said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade one of us from combing every day, or from urinating in his bath area.'" (Ṣaḥīh)
28 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: لَقِيتُ رَجُلًا صَحِبَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا صَحِبَهُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَمْتَشِطَ أَحَدُنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ، أَوْ يَبُولَ فِي مُغْتَسَلِهِ»

1. The meaning of "bath area" is the actual location of performing Ghusl or the like, meaning a tub, or shower, or bath house. 2. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade combing hair daily, with the intention to discourage excessive attention to beautification and vanity. Some scholars indicated that while this — in its apparent wording — applies to women as well as men, it is more stressed in the case of men, since beautification is less restricted for women than men. Meaning, that it is more discouraged for men to comb their hair every day than women.
