We all have hair on our bodies, but it might not look like much. Body hair helps us stay warm when we're cold and can protect our skin from getting hurt. It's like a tiny blanket or shield that covers parts of our body. Some people even use it to tell if they're going to get sick, like when their nose gets all runny!
Examples
- Your arms get colder when you're outside in the winter, that’s because your body hair helps keep you warm!
- Shaving your legs might make them feel more sensitive or tingly after a long day.
- Even your eyebrows help shade your eyes from bright sunlight.
