I don't think the OP is saying the rubber is pulling on his hair. He's saying that his hair is getting caught in the "clasp" or whatever its called on the sport strap whilst trying to put it on one handed.
Got a tip for us?

Can the "hairy wrist" porn stop? It's like watching a 70's movie.
Sorry 'bout your hair pulling. Nair your wrists.

watch SS /w black sports strap is-- and honestly, I'm not having that issue. Yes, it's rubberish but it's not very stretchy. I also have a malenese coming... sometime next month. 
Not once has my arm hair been pulled by my sport strap. I think the OP has like 6 inch long arm hairs.
I didn't notice before but I don't have hair on the bottom side of my wrist where the band connects. The top yes and some on the sides but nothing on the bottom to get caught. Lucky me.
After reading your post, I looked, and the same goes for me. Never noticed that before.
I'm a girl so this is largely a non issue (though most of us do have some degree of fine, blonde hair on our arms), but my husband has a sport strap on his SS Watch and he's not having any regular hair-pulling issues.
The Milanese loop on mine, however, occasionally rubs my wrist toward the end of the day. I guess it's because I so rarely have worn a watch over the past 10 years.
