if your hair is good why can’t you feel it

Answer
You need sensory nerves to feel something. These are not present in the hair. That’s why you don’t feel your hair growing and cutting hair doesn’t hurt.
Pulling out hair, on the other hand, can hurt: there are sensory nerves around the hair roots. These can be irritated by pulling the hair.
