They need it, in the case of cactus, to protect themselves from the hot, burning sun. The more sun they are in, the more hair they grow. It also helps keep them safe from animals. Who wants to eat a mouthful of hair? The hairs also help keep the surface of the cactus cooler in the high temperatures they grow in.
It’s not the hair that concerns me, it’s the brown dry tips.
