Why you do not feel pain when you cut your hair is because?

Because as hair is formed, it matures through a process called "keratinization", that's when the hair cells lose their nuclei.

Also same with nails. == Cutting hair or nails doesn't hurt because there are no nerve endings. You can shave yourself bald or keep your nails very short.

Why don't you feel pain when you cut your hair or nails?

You don't feel pain when cutting your hair or nails because they are composed of keratin, a protein that is not living tissue. Hair follicles and nail beds contain nerve endings that can sense pain, but the parts of hair and nails that are cut do not have any nerves or blood supply. Thus, while the act of cutting can be perceived, it does not cause pain because there are no pain receptors in the hair or nail itself.
