Why is pubic hair curly?

I read this in the first issue of the new Malay Mail and think would like to share with other readers. I have been naked with many men and women and of course thei pubic hair is curly. Reading the reason in the Malay Mail answers that.

The hair type is determined by the follicle’s shape – the ‘flatter’ it is, the curlier the hair. During adolescence, the androgens (sex hormones) floating around your body turn all the follicles in your pubic area to flat, curly-hair strands.

The follicles on your head aren’t sensitive to androgens... don’t ask us why some people have pubey head hair, though! Hair is able to trap heat and odours – something that’s useful in the retention of pheromones (sexual musk) that work to attract potential mates. And the curlier the hair, the more effective the trapping properties.

So, if you still did not realise that your pubic hair is curly, just peep inside and see for yourself.
