The heat of the sun heats the material that forms the comet and creates gas that the comet leaves behind as it travels. There are usually two distinct types of tails, one is straight, the other wavy. Some of the tail will be wavy because of "solar wind". It is not through friction of any sort since there is no friction in space.

Comet tails are made of parts of the comet, such as ice and water vapor, pieces of rock and dust, and whatever else the comet itself happens to be made of that have broken or evaporated off due to solar wind. This is why the comet trail always trails in a direction that is directly opposite from the sun and not necessarily directly behind the path of the comet itself. A comet can also have two types of tails. A dust tail, and ion tail. The ion tail is made of electrically charged particles...ions. The center of a comet is called a nucleus.
