Skin is a living organ of the human body, therefore it darkens with pigmentation to protect the outer surface to prevent burning. Hair is dead tissue that leaves the body in the form of hair and nails. Since it doesn't have a sensory to tell it darken the sun fades it. It is the same as paint. Dark when you paint because it is fresh, fading over time.
