The UV rays in the Sun do many things. They can give your skin a tan, but can also change the color of your hair. For most people, the Sun seems to lighten their hair. This is because the Sun has a natural bleaching process. This turns blond hair whiter, and brings out blond or lighter chestnut highlights in brown hair.
