No, and no. The second is fine, the first does not make sense. You can have a pair of scissors, but not a scissor.

OUCH!!!!

You can run a comb or a brush through your hair. But scissors would be a disaster for you hair and your scalp.

Formally, we comb our hair. However, in casual speech someone might say something like, "I just need to brush my teeth and run a comb through my hair, and I'll be ready."

If the scissors are "thinning scissors," then it is correct to say: "I ran a (thinning) scissors through my hair." With thinning scissors you don't really cut the hair like you do with regular scissors, you kind of "run it through your hair" in order to get between the hairs and take out a portion of the hair, thereby thinning out the hair.
