This is one of those questions that nobody really knows the true answer to.

Some say that the hair in the pubic and armpit areas retain pheromones.

Others have said that it protects the area from friction and chafing.

It has even been said that it keeps dirt and other nasty things from entering you and prevents infection.

Protection from the elements, is one of the major functions... Hair on the

head can protect from sun, heat, cold. Underarm hair is a dry lubricant.

Hair on the eye lids...that is eye lashes are to prevent particles from

falling into the eyes as well as causing a blink reflex to prevent the same.

Hair on the body in general can warn of insects or brushing close to

something. Some argue hair on the head functions in attracting a mate.

Eye lashes and eye brows serve to keep particles from falling into your

eyes....they protect your eyes. The same goes for pubic hair. Other hairs

can serve as sensory receptors. You can feel wind and feel if a bug lands on

you.
