The video explores why humans have hair on their bodies, focusing on its functions and growth process. Hair on the head keeps it warm and cushions impacts, while eyelashes and eyebrows protect the eyes. Hair grows from follicles under the skin, with the visible part being the shaft. Hair cells are dead at the surface, explaining why haircuts are painless. The video also covers the hair lifecycle, where hair grows, rests, and falls out, with new hair replacing it. Viewers are encouraged to engage by answering a question and subscribing.
