Static


As I was brushing my hair on sunday, which I do daily three times a day, I noticed in the mirror that a patch of hair was standing on end after brushing. Each strand of hair in that patch had become negatively charged. Since objects with the same charge, either negative or positive, cause a repulsive force each strand of hair is trying to move away from the other one. This causes the patch a hair to stand up and be spread apart.
