Question
Hello. I am a 13-year-old male about to be 14 in a two weeks. I wanted to know why my hair on my head is brown, and my legs and arms its blonde. When I was maybe four or five my hair was blonde on my head. I just wanted to know if it's normal or if the blonde hair will change color too. Thanks in advance.
Answer
Body hair is always lighter colored and lighter texture. Also, chances are better that as you age your hair will darken versus lighten.
