Pubic hair is the coarse hair that grows in the genital area of humans, typically beginning during puberty. It serves several functions, including providing a barrier against friction during physical activities and helping to regulate body temperature. The growth and thickness of pubic hair can vary significantly among individuals due to genetic and hormonal factors. The presence of pubic hair is a natural part of human anatomy and varies in color, texture, and density. It can also be influenced by cultural practices, such as grooming or removal methods, which may include shaving, waxing, or using hair removal creams.
