Today's useless fact - Why Is Pubic Hair Curly?

If you want to know the anatomical reason why pubic hair is
curly, we can help you. Dr. Joseph P. Bark, diplomat of the
American Board of Dermatology, explains:

Pubic hair is curly because it is genetically made in a flat
shape rather than in a round shape. Perfectly round hair, such as
the hair seen on the scalps of Native Americans, is straight and
has no tendency to curl. However, ribbonlike hair on the scalps
of blacks is clearly seen to curl because it is oval in
construction. The same is true with pubic hair. . . .

But answering what function curly pubic hair serves is a much
trickier proposition. Some, such as Samuel T. Selden, a
Chesapeake, Virginia, dermatologist, speculate that pubic hair
might be curly because if it grew out straight and stiff, it
might rub against adjacent areas and cause discomfort.
(Dermatologist Jerome Z. Litt, of Pepper Pike, Ohio, who has been
confronted with the question of why pubic and axillary hair
doesn't grow as fast as scalp hair, facetiously suggests
that "not only wouldn't it look sporty in the shower room, but
we'd all be tripping over it.")

Before we get carried away with our theories, though, we might
keep in mind a salient fact—not all pubic hair is curly.
Early in puberty, it is soft and straight. And for the readers
in Japan or China, this article should have never been posed.
The pubic hair of Orientals tends to be sparser and much
straighter than that of whites or blacks.
