Why does it hurt when you pluck a hair but not when you cut one?

my guess would that because when you pluck a hair it comes out from the root and pulls from your skin/scalp. But when you cut you're not usually cutting from the root. Well, yeah, that seems to be part of it. I would word it this way: It doesn't hurt when you cut hair because hair doesn't have any nerves, but when you pluck hair, you also kind of pull the nerve the hair is attached to.


Pulling on hair can be quite painful but not cutting the hair explain?

When you pull on your hair it hurts your scalp because your hair is connected to it.When you cut your hair it doesn't hurt because your hair doesn't have nerves.When you pull on hair you also stretch it out which can cause you hair to have weak spots.When you cut it you cut it from the bottom so it is still able to grow without damage. Pulling of hair is pain because hair follicle is surrounded by nerve endings which can detect the movement of pulling of hair. Whereas cutting the hair is just cutting the shaft which is dead, keratinized epithelium, and doesn't have nerves. Therefore this does not hurt.
