1756. ‘Abdullāh bin Mughaffal said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prohibited combing except every other day.” (Da’if)[1] (Another chain) with similar meaning. [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. He said: There is something on this topic from Anas.
١٧٥٦ - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ قَالَ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ التَّرَجُّلِ» إِلَّا غِبًّا. ١٧٥٦ (م) - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ.

The Hadīth is explicit on the point that we should not comb our hair every day but every other day. The idea is that we should neither show too much concern to the hair, nor totally neglect it so as to make it look disheveled.
