Static Electricty IN WET HAIR

Ok I am analyzing my data and I need to figure out exactly why static electrcity can not get trapped in wet hair
HEEELLP!

Hi,
The short answer is that water dissolves salts to form ions which conduct electricity. To build up a static charge the charges need to be trapped on an insulator, a non conductor of electricity. So wet hair is a conductor of electricity.
