Why are hairs so hard to pull out?

I mean, they have that little white pod at the base, but it looks pretty smooth. What's up with that?

enjoy them while you can... unless you're on the lucky guys.

<--- male pattern baldness runs in my family 🙁

I think they're easy to pull. Just wrap the finger around, and "snap!" It takes practice 😉
<--sometimes pulls out some non-straight hairs that are sticking out randomly.

Little buggers hurt..don't they?? Especially the grey ones in yer nose. Makes me sneeze for a half hour every time I yank one out. And then there's the ones in your ears...o0o0uch...........:Q

Is this a joke or what? If it were easy to pull out it'd all come out when you wash your hair
