Pulling hair out of your head hurts because hair follicles are connected to nerve endings that are sensitive to pain. When hair is forcibly removed, it stimulates these nerve endings, sending pain signals to the brain. Additionally, the surrounding skin can also be stretched or irritated during the process, contributing to the discomfort. This sensitivity serves as a protective mechanism to discourage harmful behaviors.
