Hola Joseph
Verb "peinarse" in Spanish means "to comb your hair"; the word "pelo" is implicit in the meaning of the verb.

We use the preposition para (not por) to express a purpose, goal or objective. In this case, it is always followed by an infinitive. Read and listen to these examples:
Corro para estar en forma.
I run in order to keep fit.
Habla para practicar el idioma.
He speaks to practise the language.
Están ahorrando para comprar una casa.
They are saving money in order to buy a house.

Tricky one in the text about Eva, "to be honest", por/para sinceros- could be para (in order to be honest) or por (in the CAUSE of being honest).

¡Hola Robin! We only accept "para ser sinceros" with this expression in particular because the original meaning is "(in order) to be honest" and not "because of being honest". I hope that this helps! Silvia
