Regarded as an outdoor being, most often dressed in a white cloak, she is also said to be bareheaded. In much of eastern Ireland, the banshee is imagined to comb her hair, a trait which has given rise to a popular legend about the loss and recovery of her comb. In Co. Galway (Contae na Gaillimhe) and border regions of neighbouring counties, she is said to
be washing a garment in a stream, thus paralleling the washing activity of the death-foreboding bean-nighe in Gaelic Scotland (Alba), the kannerezed noz in Brittany (Breizh), and of Otherworld women in Irish literature.
