Question

Why do we never feel pain during hair cutting?

• A. Hair is not part of body system
• B. Hair is made up of keratin which is less prone to scratching and tearing
• C. Hair is made up of bone deposits
• D. None of the choices

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Hair is made up of keratin which is less prone to scratching and tearing

Hair is made up of keratin which is a fibrous protein forming the main structural constituent of hair. Keratin is less prone to scratching or tearing than other types of cells your body produces and hence we never feel the pain during hair cutting.
