Comment on What's the evolutionary advantage of very long hair on human heads?
Mothra@mander.xyz 3 weeks agoYes, that’s very interesting, and I also read about similar studies which explain pubic hair texture as having moisture isolating capabilities. However this doesn’t address my question, which is about the apparently excessive length of head hair regardless of texture.

It does. Curling up makes the hair effectively shorter. And keeps it closer to the head.
