Why do your eyes tear when you pull out nose hair?

Tearing when pulling out nose hair occurs because the nasal passages are closely connected to the tear ducts.

Why doesn't it hurt when I pull my hair?

When you pull your hair gently, it typically doesn't hurt because hair itself is not sensitive; it lacks nerve endings.

Pain is more likely to occur if the pulling is forceful or if the hair follicles are irritated. Additionally, habitual hair pulling can lead to a reduced sensitivity over time.
