Why did my hair turn brown as I got older?
Essentially, the more eumelanin you have in your hair, the darker it will be. The reason for this change is because the amount of eumelanin in your hair increases as you mature, according to some research. But just why eumelanin production ramps up (or why those specific gene expressions change) is not entirely clear.

But some children with light hair, including towhead blonds, strawberry blonds, dishwater blonds and redheads, see their hair go dark brown by their 10th birthday. The reason for this change is because the amount of eumelanin in your hair increases as you mature, according to some research.
Why is my black hair turning red?
Your hair is red because the pigment phaemelanin is deposited on the hair as it grows out of the follicle. If your hair is turning brown, it means your body (for whatever reason) is now making and depositing eumelanin on the hair on top of the phaeomelanin.
