Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Tamar put ashes on her head,.... In token of sorrow and distress; see Joshua 7:6;

and rent her garment of divers colours that [was] on her; signifying that her virginity was rent from her in a forcible manner, or that she was ravished:

and laid her hand on her head; through grief and shame; see Jeremiah 2:37;

and went on crying; from Amnon's house to her brother Absalom's, as one abused and injured.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Laid her hand on her head - To hold on the ashes (see the marginal references).

Went on crying - i. e. “went away, crying out as she went.”
