pull all of your toenails out

Hair covers far more of the body than just the head — legs, arms, face, and elsewhere add up to a total that dwarfs ten toenails
Ten toenails is a fixed, finite count; hair strands number in the hundreds of thousands
Toenails grow back after removal; hair is more fragile and may not recover as fully

pull all of your hair out

Pulling a toenail is excruciating even with pain relief — it anchors deep into the toe, and extraction causes significant bleeding and tissue damage
Pulling hair strand by strand is minimally painful compared to ripping out a nail rooted in flesh
Toenail wounds remain painful and prone to infection for weeks; hair removal, though unpleasant, heals far more quickly
