An imbalance in electric charge in non-conductors like hair and a plastic comb can be produced by the mechanical work done on the materials. This amounts to a buildup of static electricity by generating pairs of charge carriers - electrons on one material (the comb) leaving the hair positively charged. Normally there is no completed circuit or appreciable current, the electrostatic discharge of the potential created with static electricity might be manifest as a spark, or on larger scales a lightning bolt. In the case of the comb and hair one can appeal to the atomic model to explain the phenomenon; some materials can lose electrons from their outer shells where the attraction to those electrons is a bit weaker, other materials with incomplete outer shells may tend to gain them. This is called contact-induced charge separation, the action of combing through the hair being the cause.
Yes, when combing your hair, static electricity is produced.
The electricity created when combing your hair with a plastic comb is static electricity. The same affect is created when walking across a nylon carpet, or rubbing an inflated balloon on your nylon pullover. Children jumping up and down on the nylon net-floor of a trampoline often have their hair standing straight up - a sure sign of static electricity.

dryhair + comb is equal to friction. f***ing b****
When you comb your hair briskly with a plastic comb, it can create static electricity. Static electricity occurs when objects with opposite charges rub against each other, resulting in a buildup of electrical charges. This buildup causes hair strands to repel each other, leading to a crackling or popping sound.
Your hair stands up because of static electricity. When you brush your hair with a comb, your hair builds up a static charge that will cause it to raise up.
