       the container ( 2 ) further comprises a covering structure ( 8 ) movable between a first position and a second position, and further adapted to
 cover the holes ( 3 ) of the container ( 2 ), when the covering structure ( 8 ) is in a first position, and 
 uncover the holes ( 3 ) of the container ( 2 ), when the covering structure ( 8 ) is in a second position. 
 
     
     
         2 . Combing device ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the triboelectric generator ( 7 ) comprises a material with an electron affinity which is comprised between +40 nC/J and −190 nC/J. 
     
     
         3 . Combing device ( 1 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the material comprised in the triboelectric generator ( 7 ) comprises a polymer with an electron affinity which is comprised between −40 nC/J and −190 nC/J. 
     
     
         4 . Combing device ( 1 ) according to any of the previous claims wherein the shaking means ( 6 ) are synchronized with the covering structure ( 8 ), so that when the shaking means ( 6 ) are activated, the covering structure ( 8 ) is moved to the second position and when the shaking means ( 6 ) are deactivated, the covering structure ( 8 ) is released to the first position. 
     
     
         5 . Combing device ( 1 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the container ( 2 ) further comprises a spring attached to the covering structure ( 8 ) and to the container ( 2 ), wherein the spring is arranged to force the covering structure ( 8 ) to be in its first position. 
     
     
         6 . Combing device ( 1 ) according to any of previous claims, wherein the diameters of the holes ( 3 ) of the container are between 0.3 mm and 3 mm. 
     
     
         7 . Combing device ( 1 ) according to the previous claim, wherein the diameters of the holes of the container are between 0.5 mm and 0.8 mm. 
     
     
         8 . Combing device ( 1 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the holes ( 3 ) are tapered, to ease their filling. 
     
     
         9 . Combing device ( 1 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the shaking means ( 6 ) comprise a vibration motor which causes the container ( 2 ) to vibrate. 
     
     
         10 . Combing device ( 1 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the shaking means ( 6 ) comprise means for forcing an airflow inside the container ( 2 ). 
     
     
         11 . Combing device ( 1 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the container ( 2 ) comprise container divisions ( 12 ). 
     
     
         12 . Combing device ( 1 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the container ( 2 ) contain keratin fibers. 
     
     
         13 . Combing device ( 1 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the container ( 2 ) is detachable. 
     
     
         14 . Combing device ( 1 ) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the container ( 2 ) is refillable.
