What you’re referring to are vellus hairs, which are faint and like peach fuzz. As to why it is there… well, that is just the way we are. Most women have thin vellus hairs around their front hairline corners where the rounding appears to shape it in a concave manner. This is what we sometimes refer to as a female hairline. Some men have it too and this can give the appearance of youth or a feminine face. Most children (boys and girls) have them as well.
