"Combing the Hair (La Coiffure)" is a painting by French artist Edgar Degas, created circa 1896 during the latter part of his career. This work is one of a series of similar subjects that Degas explored, depicting women in the intimate act of grooming. The painting is executed in oil on canvas and measures approximately 102 cm x 146 cm. It is currently housed in the National Gallery in London.

Degas, who is often associated with the Impressionist movement, was known for his fascination with the human figure and everyday scenes. In "Combing the Hair," he captures a private moment, featuring a woman combing through another woman's red hair, which dominates the composition. The scene is rendered with loose, expressive brushstrokes, a hallmark of Degas's later work, which often tended towards a more abstracted form.

The painting's composition is notable for its unusual cropping and the diagonal lines created by the positioning of the figures, which add a dynamic tension to the scene. The use of color is also significant, with the rich reds and warm tones contrasting against the more muted background, drawing the viewer's eye to the central action of the hair being combed.

"Combing the Hair" is an example of Degas's continued interest in the theme of women at their toilette, a subject that allowed him to explore form, color, and the effects of light in an intimate setting. The work reflects Degas's mastery in portraying the human figure and his ability to convey the texture and movement of hair, which has been a subject of fascination in art history.

This painting is often discussed in the context of Degas's broader oeuvre, which includes ballet dancers, bathers, and other scenes from modern life, as well as his contribution to the development of modern art. "Combing the Hair" exemplifies Degas's innovative approach to composition and his ongoing experimentation with color and form, making it a significant work in the study of late 19th-century French painting.
