Using a Comb on Shabbat

Question

Is it permitted to use a comb on Shabbat in a manner that does not pull out hair?
And if it is possible, must one designate a special one for Shabbat because of “muktzeh”?

Answer

Shalom u’vrachah 

Only a soft brush, which does not pull out hair.

Only to fix the hair from above, and not to truly comb it.  

And only when it is designated for use on Shabbat.
