I always find random blonde hairs under my chin too and on my head
Genes really are a weird thing

I always tought that it was just that I touch too much my beard near my chin, and the sweat/friction decolours it. So, its not that?

Nah I'm with you, my facial hair has hints of orange in it even though my regular hair is all brown.

My facial hair is orange but my hair is dark.

My mums a ginger though so maybe thats where its from

Same here.

Every once in a while someone will actually call me a redhead or ginger or whatever, and I'll kinda freak internally, but calmly explain to them that I have brown hair, but my beard is red. They don't believe it. I have to really take time to explain, and show them the difference between the colors. Some still don't believe it.
