How it's used
This term is used to describe a wardrobe malfunction where someone accidentally reveals their pubic hair due to clothing being too short, tight, or improperly positioned. It is considered quite blunt and potentially embarrassing, so it is rarely used in polite or formal company. The term focuses specifically on the accidental exposure rather than intentional display.
Examples
Your skirt is so short, be careful not to expose your pubic hair.

Common phrases
accidentally expose pubic hair
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 走光, which is a broader term for any accidental exposure of underwear or private parts. 露毛 is much more specific and carries a more graphic connotation.
