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.

What can you do to show static electricity?
You can demonstrate static electricity by rubbing a balloon against your hair or clothing, then using the charged balloon to attract small objects like paper bits or confetti. Another way is to rub a plastic rod with a cloth and bring it close to a stream of water to see the water bend towards the rod due to static electricity.
Why do the water bend after you charge a balloon?
Charging a balloon creates static electricity, which induces a temporary electric field around the balloon. When the charged balloon is brought close to a stream of water, the water molecules polarize and are attracted to the charged balloon, causing them to bend towards it.
How do you water bend with static electricity?
Water bending with static electricity is not possible as water bending is a fictional ability from the animated series "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and static electricity is a real-world phenomenon related to electric charge imbalance. They are two separate concepts that do not interact in the same way.
How does static electricity affect slow running water?
Slow running water in proximity to an electrically charged object (such as an inflated baloon with its surface filled with static electricity) will bend towards towards the object. The reason for this is that most water (if it is not de-ionized) contains positively and negatively charged ions. The ions with the same charge as the surface of the charged object will be pushed back into the faucet, leading to a buildup of ions with the opposite charge. Since opposite charges attract, the ions remaining in the water will be pulled towards the charged object, and the water will be pulled with the ions.
What material will hold static charge on its surface?
Any material electrically separated from ground will hold a static charge, even the human body, but only some materials can genate a static sharge in the first place by friction.Run a clear bic ballpoint pen over your hair then hold it close to a fine dribble of water from the tap. It will bend the water because of its static charge. Once the water touches the pen, the charge escapes through the water, up into the tap and then into the earth via the pipes. Note only some plastics generate a static charge in this way.I believe that some materials hold a negative static charge, while others (glass?) hold a positive charge. Not sure though.

Does water temperature affect how much the water bends with static electricity?
I don't know about "stick to," but if you turn on a tap so that just a thin stream of water is coming out you can actually bend it by bringing an object with a static charge near the stream.
What is the relationship between atoms and static electricity?
Static electricity is caused by the imbalance of positive and negative charges on the surface of an object. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. When two objects rub against each other, electrons can be transferred between them, leading to an excess or deficit of electrons on the surface of the objects, creating static electricity.

Does water temperature affect how much water will bend a comb?
Yes, warmer water will make the plastic comb more flexible and easier to bend compared to cold water, which will make the comb more rigid and resistant to bending. This is because the heat from the warm water softens the plastic material, allowing it to be reshaped more easily.
Can boys bend water?
Yes. Not with "magical powers" though. Using static and magnets it a decent way to move globs of water or even running water. :D hope this helped. <3

How can a comb bend a stream of water?
A comb can bend a stream of water through the process of electrostatics. When the comb is rubbed against a material, it acquires a static electric charge. This charge can then attract or repel the polar molecules in the water, causing the stream to bend toward the charged comb. The effect is most noticeable when the comb is brought close to the stream without touching it.
How can electricity make objects more?
Electricity can do more than just shock you when opening the door or make dust and pet hair to stick to you. Electricity can actually bend a steam of water and can charge objects.
What are the disadvantages of the plastic chair?
it can bend then break.
