When a student rubs a balloon made of rubber on their hair, the interaction between the two objects causes a transfer of electrical charges. The hair becomes negatively charged while the balloon becomes positively charged.
This happens because when the balloon is rubbed against the hair, electrons are transferred from the hair to the balloon's surface. Electrons are negatively charged particles, so when they move from the hair to the balloon, the hair becomes negatively charged, and the balloon becomes positively charged.
Opposite charges attract each other, which is why the balloon sticks to the hair. The positively charged balloon is attracted to the negatively charged hair, resulting in a stickiness or adherence between them.
