My beard looks all blond to begin with, but for some reason it looks darker as it gets longer. Why is that?
The discussion centers on the phenomenon of beard color perception, specifically why a beard appears darker as it grows longer. Participants suggest that this change in appearance is due to light reflection, comparing it to how rough surfaces reflect light differently than smooth ones. The consensus indicates that the density and length of hair can affect how light interacts with it, leading to a darker visual effect.
