UV rays can have a different effect on living and non living things.. if you see your couch that has been sitting in the sun, you'll see that its faded, but your skin is actually reacting to the sun either burning ( red ) or acclimatizing ( tanned )

The melanin in your skin rises to the surface, creating a protective barrier to keep out harmful rays, is evidenced by the darkening of the skin. This is one of your body's natural defense mechanisms at work. Since your hair is, for all intents and purposes, dead matter, it does not have the same response. The sun actually bleaches, or fades, the color out of brown, or lighter, hair.

Tanning is a organic procedure that occurs to light epidermis even as it truly is uncovered to the solar for an prolonged era of time. some white each and every individual is tan because they purely spend distinctive day holiday contained in the solar, and do not difficulty to placed on sunscreen. My father is an celebration of this. As for white those who purposely hunt down a tan, consisting of laying out or going to the tanning mattress, they for sure do it for stylish causes. For some reason, some human beings believe that having tan epidermis makes you look "fit," regardless of the reality that tanned epidermis is actual damaged and undesirable epidermis. luckily, this look is starting up to change into very passe, and better white females are embracing the light seems of Katy Perry, female Gaga, Kristin Stewart, and so on... as adverse to the pretend orange look sported by technique of the likes of Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan.

Because your skin contains chemicals that react with sunlight to make it darker, and hair contains chemicals that react with sunlight to make it lighter.
Skin and hair aren't the same thing. It shouldn't come across as a surprise if they don't react the same way.

your skin is like fat meat the longer axposed to heat the browner it becomes. your hair is like grass the longer exposed the drier it becomes and turns color.
