Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material or between materials. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge.

Baby powder basically “levels off” your charge, because it’s made out of really tiny particles

At least that’s how I understand it… I heard this explanation long time ago
