Go natural
. I am an extremist I suppose. Had long, thick, straight hair as a girl, as I got older I wore it shorter (slightly)...at it's longest it hit the backs of my knees. Stopped colouring my hair at 30. Now wear it cropped very short, no dye, no conditioner and I no longer possess a brush or a comb. Can't think of anything worse than stressing over roots, bad dye jobs or dodgy hairdressers.....Shower, towel dry, organise with fingers and I'm good to go.
