Most guys&#39; beards tend to be darker than their hair.Especially those with light hair,like me who have red or brown beards....

			<description><![CDATA[ I think many people forget that puberty lasts until the mid twenties, and so they assume their beard will not develop any more. Then, when shaving over a
period of time, the beard gets thicker because of the body&#39;s changes, and they associate it with the shaving. That along with the illusion of quicker
growth form some powerful myth-making material. ]]></description>
