  5. Hi, Im 20 and have a full dark beard, but today I noticed some of the hairs have turned brown. About 15 hairs are already brown. I thought it might be genetic, but no one in my family has a brown beard, and my brothers' beards are also dark. Is this normal or could it mean my beard is going grey soon because of poor nutrition or sun exposure? Whats causing this?
