French language Q&A Forum

Almost reluctant to ask this question based on the number of comments and confusion on this topic but here goes…….

The question was to write: 

“I had my hair brushed”

HINT: se faire brosser les cheveux = to have one’s hair brushed

In the comments, Cécile writes:

You will use ‘se faire faire quelque chose mostly when you are having something done by someone else.

So on that basis, as the question implies that someone else brushed my hair, I answered : 

“Je me suis fait faire brosser les cheveux".

However, the correct answer is :

"Je me suis fait brosser les cheveux".

Could someone explain why I’m wrong?

In this lesson you say "Use qui when the following word is a verb or reflexive pronoun (e.g. me, te, se, lui, le, la, nous, vous, leur, les, etc)", but isn't there a mistake here? Can lui, le, la, leur be reflexive pronouns?

Why is 'le' in this sentence?

Also in "J'en vaux vraiment la peine !" in the lesson, why "J'en vaux..." instead of "Je vaux ..."?
