Static electricity occurs when two objects have different electrical charges. When objects are rubbed together, the electrons from one object can hop to the other, causing them to take on a positive or negative charge. Positively charged objects repel each other, so when your hair stands on end, that is due to a positive electrical charge transferred from another object, usually a hat or hair brush. What would be one way to avoid static electricity
