Answer:

One common example of gaining a static charge by friction is when you rub a balloon against your hair. The friction between the balloon and your hair can transfer electrons, leaving the balloon negatively charged and your hair positively charged, causing the balloon to stick to your hair due to electrostatic attraction.
