When combing your hair you transfer electrons from your hair onto the comb Is your hair then positively or negatively charged?
It all depends on if you have a negative charge in your hair or a positive charge.
When combing your hair you transfer electrons from your hair onto the comb is your hair then positively or negatively charged how about the comb?
In the way you say it, I would have to say since you're the one that's transferring the electrons, your hair is positively charged which would make the comb preferably negative.
When you comb your hair with a plastic comb what will the sign be on the charge acquired by the comb?
Negative.
When you place a comb in bits of paper it does not stick but if you run the comb through your hair it sticks after combing your hair?
yesYou created a static electrical charge on the comb, causing it to attract the bits of paper.
Why does your'e hair stand up when you brush it with a plastic comb?
Your hair stands up because of static electricity. When you brush your hair with a comb, your hair builds up a static charge that will cause it to raise up.

If you scuff electrons from your hair onto a comb are you positvely or negatively charged and how about the comb?
Your creation of friction with the floor will allow you to "collect" electrons. You'll become negatively charged, and this static charge can discharge to a door knob. Most of us are familiar with the phenomenon. The results can be shocking.

Why is hair attracted to a comb?
Hair is attracted to a comb because of the buildup of static electricity on the comb and on the hair. This buildup occurs when you pass the comb through the hair, and can be reduced or eliminated by adding a little bit of water to the comb or to the hair. Depending on the material of the comb, either the comb will be positively charged and the hair negatively charged, or it could be the other way around. Since opposing charges attract each each, the hair then is attracted to the comb.

How is electricity produced with a plastic comb and dry hair?
An imbalance in electric charge in non-conductors like hair and a plastic comb can be produced by the mechanical work done on the materials. This amounts to a buildup of static electricity by generating pairs of charge carriers - electrons on one material (the comb) leaving the hair positively charged. Normally there is no completed circuit or appreciable current, the electrostatic discharge of the potential created with static electricity might be manifest as a spark, or on larger scales a lightning bolt. In the case of the comb and hair one can appeal to the atomic model to explain the phenomenon; some materials can lose electrons from their outer shells where the attraction to those electrons is a bit weaker, other materials with incomplete outer shells may tend to gain them. This is called contact-induced charge separation, the action of combing through the hair being the cause.
Why does water bend when it is being close to a comb and that comb has been comb to your hair?
The comb steals electrons from your hair, making it negative. Water has no charge. Since all the electrons are negative, and likes repel, the electrons try to get as far away as possible. Trying to get on the other side of the water.
How do you comb hair?
run the comb through the hair
Why a comb drawn through hair attracts a tiny piece of paper?
This is due to electrification process. As we rub the comb along with hair, the molecues in the comb would lose some electrons to the hair. This happens due to friction. So comb due to lack of negatively charged electrons becomes positively charged. Same time hair gaining electrons becomes negatively charged. Now as we keep this charged comb close to a bit of paper, then by electrostatic induction opposite charges here negative electrons are pulled towards it. So paper gets negative charge momentarily. Hence force of attraction between unlike charges. So paper bit gets attracted.
How do you get a comb out of your hair if it is tangled into it?
If a comb is stuck in your hair, try to cut little bits out of the comb, so it is easier to get the hair out. Get little pieces of hair out of the comb at a time. When the comb is out of your hair, your hair will be a little knotty so brush it out well. If you have detangling spray, spray that on your hair. This will work well.
