Reflexive pronouns are used when verbs can be considered "doing something to / affecting one´s self" and, depending on sentence structure, can be placed before the verb or after it but connected to end of the verb, ie: I am going to comb my hair - Me voy a peinar / Voy a peinarme.
She is bathing - Se está bañando / Está bañándose.

One other thing. For a pronoun and verb to be reflexive they must match in person. For example:
- Me baño - reflexive - both pronoun and verb 1st person singular
- Te baño - not reflexive - pronoun 2nd person singular, verb 1st person singular
- Nos bañamos - reflexive - both pronoun and verb 1st person plural
