Hair performs several purposes, including protection, sensory input, thermoregulation, and communication. Hair on the head, for example, shields the skull from the sun.

Hope this helps

One primary function of hair is to insulate the body. The reasoning for this is how it serves almost a barrier between cold air and skin. It also keeps the warmth between skin and hair, making the body warmer.

Not sure if this is correct but I hope it helps :]
