Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin?
Skin Cells - living units - produce increased amounts of melanin as exposure to UVB increases. This is to protect deeper levels of skin from dehydration by increasing UV absorption by these superficial cells (it backfires as melanoma may result). Hair is an organic non-living compound of proteins that is occassionally denatured by sun exposure resulting in bleaching.
