Because humid hair is still a bit wet and dry hair is dry. Electricity is attracted to water.

What is a humid region?
A humid region is a region where humidity (moisture in the air) is greater than 50%.
Why might the climate in a hot dry desert be different than the climate in a hot humid swamp?
Since the swamp is humid, it cools down a little.
Why wet clothes dry up very slowly in a humid air?
Because in humid air, there is more water in the air.
Why do thunderstorms happen on warm days?
Warm days are more likely going to be more humid than cool days, so more precipitation gathers making more storm clouds, which then are in thunder storms.
Why is wind erosion relatively more important in dry regions than in humid ones?
Wind erosion is relatively more important in arid regions than in humid regions because in humid regions moisture binds particles together and vegetation anchors the soil so that wind erosion is negligible
Why are you less likely to get an electric shock after walking on carpet in humid weather than in dry weather?
in humid weather there is presence of water particles and water does conducts electricity,therefore easy to get an electric shock,unlike in dry weather where there is no conduction of electricity
What does the g in g-shock stand for?
So the G is most likely Gravity as is the G in G-Force. They were designed to take a bit more punishment than other watches, hence the name: G for gravity, Shock, meaning it can absorb impact
Why you are likely to receive a shock after walking across a carpet when the air is dry than when the air is humid?
That shock is caused by static electricity, or the build-up of charge on an object. As you do something that will help build that charge (like scuff along a carpet), static electricity on your person increases. Water is a better conductor of electricity than dry air. In humid air, the static electricity will be slowly discharged as it contacts the water vapor. When there is no water vapor, the static electricity is not conducted away from your body as it builds up, and it accumulates. At some point, you come close to a good conductor of electricity - a metal object, for instance - and the built-up charge discharges.
Does it rain in maui much?
Yes, it rains more than most people would think. It is humid as well.
What is meant by the phrase most likely?
"Most likely" in any writing, not just in medical records, means simply "more likely than not". "Patient most likely has viral pneumonia rather than the common cold." or "Patient more likely than not has viral pneumonia rather than a common cold." However, "most likely" or "more likely than not" are not usual phrases in medical charting. The context is important; i.e. what was the subject and how was the sentence written?
Is South Africa humid or dry?
The country South Africa is more humid than it is dry.
What is a humid region?
A humid region is a region where humidity (moisture in the air) is greater than 50%.
Why does a can of soda sweat on a hot humid day?
A soda can "sweats" on a hot day because of the temperature outside. The beverage is most likely colder than it is outside so the air temperature is heating the can, but the liquid is cooling this, it is kinda like condensation in the water cycle.
What makes the flash of a lightning strike larger than that of a carpet shock?
A lightning shock is bigger than a carpet shock because a lightning shock has bigger and more severe energy.
Is Florida coast more humid than the Sahara?
Yes. It is much more humid. If it were not, the Florida would be a desert.
Is Puerto Rico drier than Texas?
No. The weather in Puerto Rico is humid. Sometimes it becomes too humid.
Is precipitation associated with low pressure systems?
Though I am not an expert on the subject, I would assume that yes, precipitation is more likely in a low pressure area. This is because the air is more humid in low pressure systems since a water molecule weighs less than a nitrogen or oxygen molecule; and as we all know, precipitation is more likely when it is more humid. :)
