Why does your hair go darker when it gets wet with water as water is colourless?
Horseluva11
Very good question. I would think it is because the water does two things. When it is wet, the hair lays down and are closer together. Also, when hair is dry it probably reflects light more. Both of these reasons makes the hair appear to be a lighter shade of color.
