I used to dye my hair all the time - despite being pretty allergic to the dye - but now I've come to accept my mousy brown hair.
I straighten my hair almost everyday but I hate doing that. I like the feeling of my natural hair better but I think mu hair looks better when it's straight (or at least as straight as I can make my stubborn, dense, thick hair).

I'm trying to find ways to style my hair so it's less pouffy/frizzy/erratic so I can stop damaging it so much with the straightener. I have tried vinegar rinses, frizz serums, gels, mouses, non-terry towels, no-shampoo method; all to no avail. *shrugs*
