Mine's naturally medium brown, very fine and straight. Right now, it's falling just above my shoulders, but I'm in bad need of a haircut. I usually add some red color to it. I discovered henna in the last year or so and I LOVE it. It smells good, like tea, when you put it on, instead of like ammonia and eye burning, and doesn't lighten my hair, so it's not obvious I dyed it when it's growing out.
