Either you shave or wax your pubic hairs you know that you might have to trim them down a bit first in order to proceed with the two hair removal methods. I can remember one incidence when I was trimming the hair down there, the trimmer got caught in the hair. It’s a little funny but then I wondered why is pubic hair so curly
Why is pubic hair so curly?
There is no exact reason as to why pubic hair is curly. But There are theories. Theories such as the one by Brian Steixner, MD, Director of the institute of Men’s Health at Jersey Urology Group in Atlantic City. He claims that pubic hair is curly because its better at trapping the pheromones in your sweat glands when they are released in the groin area.
But on the other hand, a dermatologist Marc Glashofer claims that the texture of pubic hair is curly, thicker than other parts of the body because it as a buffer. This buffer can prevent friction when you’re in intercourse. Intercourse could cause abrasion of the skin along with rashes. Also, it can help protect against bacteria and pathogens.
The hair type on your body is determined by the follicle shape. When you have a flatter follicle, the hair will be curlier. This is can all be seen on a microscopic level. Hard to see with a human eye. During adolescence, the sex hormones, androgens as we call them are pushing through your body and turn your hair follicles in your pubic region to flat curly hair follicles.
How long are my pubic hairs?
Your pubic hairs can grow between half an inch up to 1.5 inches. But it can vary depending on your genetic makeup, you can end being a very hairy person. Each follicle on your body is already genetically programmed to have various growth cycles and that can influence the hair length. So, your hairs have already been preprogrammed to grow to a specific length.
Does everyone have curly pubic hair?
Yes, you can have curly pubic hair. pubic hair and your armpit hair can vary in both colors. They are both different from the hair on your scalp. In most cases the hairs are similar to that of your eyebrow. You can find pubic hair on one person and then you’ll find sparse or fine hairs on another. Curly pubic hair can vary depending on gender also. So curly pubic hairs can vary by your race or ethnicity.
What is the reason for having pubic hair?
To protect you from skin infections and abrasion during sexual intercourse. To trap pheromones that help to attract a significant other. It can also protect you from bacteria and other unwanted pathogens.
Why does my pubic hair hurt when I move it?
You probably have ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs are painful little bumps that occur when the hair curls back in your skin. It’s supposed to grow out of your skin. Ingrown hairs can cause irritating bumps that resemble pimples.
How are your pubes different?
They are different in their coarseness, curliness, and color. The differences can manifest in various ways. Each difference is important in its own right.
Coarseness
Pubic hair is coarser than the hair on your head. There is no match for the hair under your trousers even if you had the curliest and most stringent scalp hair. this is why pubic hair poses quite the strange challenge.
Curliness
Pubic hair is curlier than the hair on your scalp also, the additional curl makes it harder to manage also. Trimming pubes poses a problem when it comes time to trim them. The curliness makes the hair denser.
Color
Color varies when discuss the hair below the belt. Once again, it’s the genetic makeup that predetermines whether or not the color of your pubes will be the same as the ones on your scalp
So, Why Are Pubes Different from other parts of the body?
The list of reasons why the pubic hairs are different from other parts of the body aren’t on the high list on a doctor’s planner. So, there aren’t many scientific studies but there are very good theories as to why.
Your smell
Certain urologist theorizes that the smell that comes from pubic hairs is a result of the hair trapping pheromones in the pubic region. And this may be a reasonable theory since there was a time when human beings were primitive and animalistic that they are now. Mating back then probably had to do with a lot of pheromones (sniffing and smelling). You know like dogs. Also, nonverbal communication should’ve been big back then.
The Friction
Now the idea with the friction of pubic hairs is that it serves some biological function, by creating a nice little layer that can help reduction the friction on your skin while engaging in sexual intercourse.
Plumage
You know there was a time before the when humans didn’t wear clothing or if they did, they barely wore any. And a significant amount of pubic hair could be a sign of physical maturity. But with men it can be a sign of high testosterone levels.
Providing Protection
The tough texture of pubic hair is making it a strong layer of protection a lot of things that could threaten you.
