Couldnt figure out this myself

But recently heard another dirty blonde incel confsued about this phenomenon

Does anyone know why?

nah honestly it literally changes the colour indoors with same lighting if youve been out in the sun all day with dirty blonde hair

I have the same. Always goes very blonde in the sun and brown when I haven't been outside in a while.

UV light bleaches it in a way.

Ive had black hoodies turn reddish due to this phenomenom
