EN: to comb (hair)
What you do when you wake up looking like a 'bruha' and need to look presentable for a Zoom meeting. 'Magsuklay ka nga, para kang pusang nag-away!' is a classic mom-ism. It's the basic act of taming your wild hair.
Refers specifically to using a comb ('suklay'). For a hairbrush ('sepilyo'), the verb 'magsipilyo' (or 'mag-brush') is used, though 'magsuklay' is often used generically for any hair-tidying action.
