Pubic hair stops growing due to a cycle of growth and rest phases. Each hair follicle undergoes a growth phase (anagen), then a transitional phase (catagen), and finally a resting phase (telogen) where the hair eventually falls out. This cycle explains why pubic hair and other body hair reach a certain length and then stop growing, differing from the continuous growth of scalp hair.
