Why does wet hair look darker




















The less light your hair reflects, the darker it will appear to be. Water affects the way the light bounces off the hair. Usually, objects have the color we see as they reflect certain wavelengths of light back to our eyes. The wavelengths correspond to particular colors.

The visible light might seem colorless, but it is actually a mix of all the colors together from red which has the longest wavelength to violet which has the shortest wavelength. If you would have noticed, the ice would look clear when it is a sheet but look white and opaque when it is in the form of snow particles. It all depends on the reflection of the light.

Dec 16, Well, this effect is exactly like the effect on ocean waves and how they change color depending on how the light rays effect it and hit the waves.
