Thin hair or thick hair causes more static?

Thin hair. It reacts to electricity differently than thick hair, and causes more static. The wetness of hair affects static, as well. Dry hair conducts the energy better. There's also the myth that lighter hair causes more static than darker hair, but it's not true. The hair colour doesn't affect electricity directly. However, lighter hair tends to be finer. So in general, lighter hair conducts electricity better, but that's due to its texture. Light hair can be thick and dark hair can be thin, albeit rarely.

Also if you have on rubber sole shoes and you drag them along a carpet the first person you touch will be shocked by static electricity.

"Static electricity" is more accurately referred to as "static charge".

Or, run a plastic comb through your hair. It will take on a static charge.

Why does your hair fly away when you brush it on a dry day?

It's because of static electricity. You know the trick you see in school where you rub a balloon on your hair and your hair sticks up, it's the same sort of thing. Friction causes static electricity and you notice it more on dry days because there is no moisture molicules to "cushion" it.
