It's really thick, below shoulder. It's salt and pepper. I can't colour it as I'm seriously allergic to dye. Must admit the colour doesn't bother me, but it used to be sleek and shiny with a slight wave, now it's fly away and a constant mess. The grey/white hairs are much coarser than the others and stick out all over the place no matter how much conditioner etc. I use. All suggestions gratefully received.
