When you get the teeth of the comb where you want the comb to be, hold the tooth-tips right there and carefully rotate the head of the comb 180 degrees, in a half circle using the ends of the teeth as the circle's center.

spine
or spine of a comb
From answers.com:
What are comb parts?
the top part is called the spine and the spike like things are called teeth
From UrbanTouch.com, relating to hairspray:
Shake can well. Hold upright and at least 20 cm away from your hair. Spray liberally over your finished style. To control flyaways, spray onto the spine of a comb and smooth over your hair.
