How does static electricity bend water with a dry plastic comb?

Static electricity produced by rubbing the comb on dry hair creates a charge imbalance that attracts the water molecules in the stream of water. The water molecules are polar, so they are attracted to the charged comb and will align themselves with the electrostatic field, causing the water stream to bend towards the charged comb.

How does a plastic comb and your hair dry produce electricity?

Rubbing the plastic comb against dry hair causes electrons to transfer from the hair to the comb, creating static electricity. The friction between the two materials generates a positive charge on the comb and a negative charge on the hair, resulting in the electricity buildup.
