I see some red/brown strands of hair in my black beard. Why is that?
Genetics just simple genetics. Way long ago in the very distant past you had a Red Headed ancestor. Since the Caucasian race originated in Iran and since over the centuries many people in the region around Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Iran have some Iranian ancestors. The Iranians are to a large extent the precursors of the occasional red headed-headed person in that region. While you seldom see any red headed Iranians, many Iranians do carry a recessive gene for red hair. sometimes it shows up to a small degree, in people that have even a very small amount of Iranian ancestry.
Colour of my beard is black but also lots of gold and brown strands of hair. The odd red hair here and there. It's the new style - multi-coloured beard
Seriously though - I haven't got a clue.
I once finished praying and a brother came to me and said "Why have you got streaks in your beard hair?"
Anyway a lot of kids come and say "You got mehndi on your beard?"
Don't really matter. I've seen lots of brothers more recently with strands of red/brown/gold hair in their beards.
Brothers & sister don't forget the 6 fasts of Shawwal
Abu Ayyub al-Ansari(ra) narrated, the Prophet(SAW) said, "Whoever fasted Ramadan with the then connect with the (fasting) six days in Shawwal, the (reward) as he was fasting for a year." (Muslim,Abu Dawood,al-Tirmidhi, al-Nisaai & Ibn Maajah).

I'd love a beard with brown in it. It looks nice
“Who said that guidance requires there to be someone accompanying you"
Alhumdulillah it does look nice. Don't worry bro when you see the odd white hair - use mehndi. Don't know if it will be brown or orange. Anyway be happy with who you are.
My beard is still relatively small. A lot of hair falls out and most of it is not black. It's amazing how much hair falls out yet there is still so much hair.

I know hair is amazing isn't it, like it just keeps growing and growing.

But I don't want to be queer. I'm already a dork as it is. (That's a proven statement btw.)

But my entire lineage, to my knowledge, has black hair. IT could be one of those very very rare situations I suppose. And I'm Southeast Asian... Black hair/brown eyes is the norm.

I heard anything but black is permissible. How would bright pink look?

I don't want to apply Mehndi, to be honest. But I already give off that impression. Though, it was only one strand which I can't find anymore. I did NOT pluck it, ind you!

Ehh... My preference is black, but I'm sure there is a reason behind this.

True. I must be such an exciting personality... a black beard with random strands of red and brown.

My hair falls out a lot too, yet it still looks somewhat bushy Alhamdulillah. Not bushy bushy, but average.
I'm happy with who I am Alhamdulillah. It's just that if there's a way to preserve the blackness (not white, red, orange, gold, etc), I won't pass it up.

Subhanallah. :P Keep my beard long enough, maybe the princess charming will use it as a rope to climb up my bedroom window.
Just the other day a brother told me that when he heard the hadith 'To meet your brother with a cheerful face is sadaqa' he thought of me! Best present anybody could have given me!!
Today a brother text me and told me that another brother is jealous of my beard!!
