Hair has many many uses in insects. It can be used for sensory input, just like your hair. It can be used for insulation, just like your hair. Aquatic insects sometimes use it to trap air for when they dive under water.

The hair in insect isn't even hair, technically. It's an outgrowth of the exoskeleton.

Does frizzy hair attract insects?

Frizzy hair itself does not inherently attract insects. However, hair can trap oils, sweat, and other substances that might attract insects like mosquitoes or gnats. Additionally, if hair is unkempt or has food particles in it, that could also draw in pests. Overall, it's not the frizz but rather the cleanliness and condition of the hair that might influence insect attraction.
