It’s normal for your beard to change color as it grows, especially if you’re just starting out. But if the color of your hair is changing more than usual or not going back to its original shade after a few weeks, there could be an underlying health issue that needs to be addressed. In this article we’ll cover the causes and treatments for beard hair turning brown.

The color of your beard hair depends on the amount of melanin in it.

The color of your beard hair depends on the amount of melanin in it. Melanin is the pigment that gives hair its color, and it comes from cells called melanocytes in your hair follicles. There are two types of melanin: eumelanin (responsible for dark shades) and pheomelanin (light-colored). The more eumelanin present, the darker your beard will be; if there’s more pheomelanin present instead, then you might have a lighter-colored beard like blond or red.

Melanin comes from a pigment called eumelanin, which gives your hair its red, brown or black color.

The pigment that gives your hair its color is called eumelanin. Eumelanin comes from the Greek word “melas,” meaning black, and it’s a type of melanin–a pigment that colors skin, eyes and hair. The amount of eumelanin present in a strand determines its shade of brown: More eumelanin makes for darker shades; less makes for lighter ones.

Eumelanin is the most common pigment found in human hair, but other types exist as well–pheomelanins produce reds or yellows; pheomelanins produce reds or yellows; phaeomelanins give us greens and blues

There are two types of melanin — pheomelanin and eumelanin — and they both play a role in how dark or light your hair color is.

Eumelanin gives you darker shades of brown or black, like chocolate-brown, deep chestnut reds, jet black and charcoal grey. Pheomelanin gives you lighter shades of brown and red hair, like strawberry blonde or redhead (which is actually a variation between blonde and red).

The amount of eumelanin present in your beard determines its color. If there’s more eumelanin, it will be darker; if there’s less, it will be lighter. So if your beard has been turning brown but you’re not sure why, look at how dark it was before–if it was already pretty dark to begin with then chances are that’s why your facial hair has gotten even darker over time!

For most men, their first sprouts of facial hair have more pheomelanin than their later growth, which has more eumelanin.

For most men, their first sprouts of facial hair have more pheomelanin than their later growth, which has more eumelanin. This is due to genetics and the way your hair grows. If you’re growing a beard or mustache and want it to be darker than its current shade (which can range from blonde to black), you may want to consider trimming regularly so that it doesn’t get too long. Longer beards tend to have less pigment in them than shorter ones do because they don’t receive as much sun exposure–and thus don’t need as much protection from UV rays–during their growth stage.

You should also keep in mind that some dyes used for coloring facial hair can affect its color; if you use a dye that contains henna extract, for example (which tends not only change but actually darken hair), this could result in an unexpected change in hue after applying it.

When you first start growing beards, you may notice slight changes from week to week in terms of color variation. This is due to several factors that can cause your beard to change colors at different times throughout its growth cycle.

The color of your beard hair depends on the amount of melanin in it. Melanin comes from a pigment called eumelanin, which gives your hair its red, brown or black color (think about when you get sunburned and see how red it gets). The more eumelanin there is in the follicle, the darker the hair will be. If there is less eumelanin present then we say there’s low density; if there’s more than average then we say high density; finally if there’s no difference between these two extremes then we call it medium density.

What’s causing your beard to turn brown?

You may be wondering what’s causing your beard to turn brown. While there are several factors that can cause this change, here are the most common:

• The amount of melanin in your body. Melanin is a pigment that gives skin its color and controls how much sunlight it absorbs. The more melanin you have in your body, the darker and tanner it’ll appear; if you’re naturally fair-skinned or get sunburned easily, then more likely than not this is why your beard looks like it does right now!
• The amount of melanin in your diet (or lack thereof). Foods high in vitamin B6 can boost production of this natural chemical by up to 10%–which means that if you’re eating enough foods containing B6 (like fish), then maybe it won’t matter as much whether or not there was any actual sunlight exposure involved with changing colors over time? But again: we’d still recommend avoiding foods high in saturated fats because these types tend not only increase risk factors associated with coronary heart disease but also inhibit absorption processes within cells such as those found throughout hair follicles–meaning less healthy growth overall…
