So is it becouse the material or becouse the fact that the balloon is the object that moves and the hair is static. and does every two objects that been grabed together will nacessrly continues each other.
and also why does the minos of a bttary doesn't stick to the flower

you know why does the negative side of the battery doesn't create Electrical Polarization and stick to the
ceiling like a balloon?

The voltage difference necessary to get something to stick to the ceiling is typically in the thousands of volts. Luckily for us, the discharge current and amount of time is minimal. Batteries just don't have high enough voltage potential.

The battery video is a Trick so the Physics of the situation that you 'see' is not right. As @scottdave suggests, there's probably a magnet stuck to the back of the fabric, somewhere.
It is possible that the plastic case of the batteries is a good enough insulator to allow it to be charged up electrically but they are too heavy for Electrostatic attraction to be enough. Magnets do the job much better.
 
I think i found my answer i made an experience I connect a motor to Minos of one battery and to the positive side of another battery and nothing happened until I connect the battery s together so the electrons in the battery moving only if you
Connect it to it possitive side

So I assume that only small part of the elctrons move to the positive side an then the battery didn't recycled the the potential
