Your hair and nails do not have any nerve endings in them. Nerve endings are what allow you to sense pain. Without nerve endings, you cannot feel any pain, and that is why you don't get hurt when you cut your nails or hair.

Which body parts you do not feel pain when you cut down?

Your hair and fingernails do not have nerves, so you can cut or clip them without pain. If you clip your nails back too far, there are nerves in the flesh underneath the nails that can cause pain. The top layers of the epidermis can take shallow cuts and scratches with little to no pain. This layer is very thin. It is what peels off when you get a sunburn.


Why doesn't a hair cut hurt?

The hair that shows above your skin is composed of dead cells made up of a tough protein called keratin; toenails and fingernails are also made of keratin. So hair and nails have no feeling above the surface of your skin. They are alive below the skin, though, where their roots are attached to nerves. That is why it hurts when someone pulls your hair: they are tugging at live roots. But having your hair and nails cut doesn't hurt at all.
