This is because the comb gets charged when it is rubbed. This charge that is created when two objects are rubbed against each other is called static electricity.

Answer:
Every object has a 'normal' amount of electricity that can be transferred from one object to the other when two objects are in close contact, as when they are rubbed together.
When the plastic comb is pulled through hair, it acquires a negative charge. That is, it picks up more electrons than it had before. The hair losses its electrons to the plastic comb and acquires positive charge.
Explanation: this is due to electrostatic force.
