Well, I just did quite a bit of reading and it seems to be, while not fully understood, probably more or less for the reason you would assume -- sexual attraction. Less hair is a sign of youth, which is a sign of potential fertility.

There were some good paragraphs here. r/askscience mostly let me down though.
