My beard looks all blond to begin with, but for some reason it looks darker as it gets longer. Why is that?

In summary, beard length and thickness can both impact the color of your beard. As your beard grows longer, the increased distance between the root and the tip of the hair strands can make it appear darker. However, trimming your beard can make it appear lighter by reducing this distance and changing the way light reflects off the hair. The color of your beard will not change as it grows longer, but it may appear darker due to the increased distance between the root and the tip of the hair strands.

Photos? Do trees look darker the denser they are? Maybe each hair has less light as it gets longer and denser?
