    This is very common. Beard hair is usually a different colour than anywhere else. Very often, there will be quite a few reddish hairs in there. Why? I don't know. Mother Nature likes to have fun with us!

    Being of mixed ancestry can cause all sorts of unexpected things to happen. Somewhere in your past, there are some red-heads, and it is trying to come out. Nothing to worry about. You can colour it if it really bothers you, but I'd just leave it alone. It may change when you grow up. In the early years, you get many unusual things going on.

    My brothers moustache/beard went from black to red from using a bong instead of a pipe when smoking his weed.

    Just a thought...
