I just find it odd that they have different hair colors, when Ground Zeroes is the prologue. And another thing. Why even have the long hair in Afghanistan? We all know Big Boss at some point cuts his hair short. Having it long in that place would be worse. He would go through so much water. He should have cut it short then unless he uses an infinate canteen code. But the hair color is already explain due to different lighting, he does not heave different hair color, it's just the lighting that makes it look like that.

Also his hair is not that much longer in TPP, not to mention he's been in a coma for 9 years, do you even know how much hair can grow in 9 years? It's suffice to say his hair been cut several times and his face shaved several times throughout his coma.

Also, the length of hair doesn't matter that much in those countries, there's plenty of people with lesser physiques that have longer hair then BB and still not be too much bothered by that heat, sure Africa is hot but it's not desert hot everywhere there. What I am trying to say is that it would be practical and it would make a lot of sense that he would cut his hair short for Afghanistan. We know that Big Boss cuts his hair short and keeps it short. Why not make that the time in which he starts to keep it short. Because having long hair in an arid desert setting would be impratical. ALMOST all your body heat escapes through your head. with that much hair the body would not be able to vent the body heat to combat the enviornmental heat. The body would sweat more therefore causing him to get dehydrated. Meaning he would have to go through more water to stay hydrated. More water consumed means he could get sick due to overconsumption of water. Not to mention slow his mission down due to the fact he would have to piss like a race horse. I know they pare probably not factoring this in while developing the game, but it would seem like the right time to cut his hair short if he is going to spend a lot of time in hot/humid desert or jungle type enviornments.

As far as the lighting goes. That is TOO much of a shift in color to blame it on the lighting. I do believe they did that so they could have the playable demo for the Fox Engine ready, and fixed it later. It's the only thing I can think of. Rain makes har look darker when wet, not the other way around. and they could not do much lighting to the enviornment to begin with because it was a night setting. Sure there were spot lights, but at no time when he was under light did his hair present a different color.
