Answer

No.

Work Step by Step

An electric current is produced by a net charge (sum of all charges, positive and negative) in motion. When rubbing the comb through your hair, some charge is transferred to the comb, but you and the comb, moving together, have a net charge of zero. So, no net charge is moving, no current is produced.
