THE REASON AS SAME AS WHEN U RUB A COMB ON THE DRY HAIR THEY ATTRACT THE PAPER PIECES BUT NOT WHEN U RUB THE COMB TO THE WET HAIR
U KNOW THAT THE HUMID AIR HAS A HIGHER DIELECTRIC THAN THE DRY AIR AND HENCE THINK THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE VARIATIONS

WELL THE REASON I THINK IS AS SAME AS WHEN THE COMB DOES NOT ATTRACT PAPER PIECES WHEN RUBBED TO WET HAIRS
U MAY KNOW THAT THE DIELECTRIC OF THE HUMID AIR IS MORE THAN THE DRY AIR AND I THINK THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE VARIATIONS AND U MAY REMEMBER THAT HUMID AIR IS A BAD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY
CORRECT IF IM WRONG

RATE IF HELPFUL
