Pubic hair is wiry because hormones during puberty trigger the growth of thicker, coarser, and curlier hair with a larger cuticle layer, designed by evolution to reduce friction in the sensitive groin area, wick moisture, trap pheromones, and protect against pathogens, unlike the smoother scalp hair. This texture helps create a barrier against friction during movement and intercourse, while also aiding in scent dispersal, says Manscaped.

Hair follicles cycle through growth (anagen), resting (catagen), and shedding (telogen) phases; pubic hair's anagen (growth) phase is much shorter (weeks) than scalp hair (years), making it appear to stop growing at a certain length.
