    If you sat on your head, maybe your head hair would be fucked up too! There are different follicles all over our body, there is a bigger difference between, say, arm hair and head hair, than there is between pubes and head hair. We evolved that way, I’m not sure there’s a “why” beyond that. People with long head hair and short sparse body hair were more likely to reproduce.
