Why is pubic hair curly?

Pubic hair is curly primarily because its hair follicles are oval or asymmetrical, forcing the hair shaft to twist as it grows, unlike the round follicles that produce straight hair. This texture, determined by genetics and hormones (like androgens), also helps trap pheromones for scent signaling in mating and creates a protective layer to reduce friction during intercourse, making it functionally different from scalp hair. 

Does shaving pubic hair get rid of smell?

Yes, shaving pubic hair can reduce odor by removing hair that traps sweat, bacteria, and oils, making it easier to clean the skin and allowing for better airflow, which minimizes odor-causing buildup, though good hygiene is key regardless of hair presence. While hair itself isn't the cause, it creates a breeding ground for bacteria mixed with sweat, and removing it allows for more effective washing and drying, leading to less smell.
