If you pull a hair, you pull it from your skin, where nerves are located - nerves make you feel pain. On the other hand, hair itself doesn't have nerves

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. The scalp, however, is sensitive due to the presence of many nerve endings, but gentle pulling usually doesn't trigger pain receptors. 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.
