Why does the hair on your skin stand on end?
I don't know the complete answer to this question and I don't even know if this right but I think it is caused by adrenaline which makes all your nerves send an alert through the body and I think that alert just brings about the goosebumps. This is a natural response of the body to warm the surrounding area of the skin. If you get cold or a chill, your skin points the hair straight up to make a collective mass of air, which maintains the air temp, rather than it lying down. It is similar to having thermal underwear on, or like being wrapped up in a blanket. This makes a non moving air mass that will warm up because of body temp. This explains why people in hot climates have curly hair, because it is a heat coil. It lets the heat dissapate and why people in cold climates have straight hair and more oily, which will not cold air pass through easily. It just creates a air or vapor area surrounding the skin.
