Why is my hair smooth and soft compared to the other hairs?

    This post is made semi-jokingly, but it’s still a real question of mine btw. In other words: why is ball hair all fucked up when head hair is so smooth?

      If you sat on your head, maybe your head hair would be fucked up too! There are different follicles all over our body, there is a bigger difference between, say, arm hair and head hair, than there is between pubes and head hair. We evolved that way, I’m not sure there’s a “why” beyond that. People with long head hair and short sparse body hair were more likely to reproduce.
