What kind of dye do you use, and what does it look like? Why do you want to switch to straightening?
I use L'Oreal and the color I like is a cooler (ash) version of my original hair color. I think gray hair looks fantastic on my friends with straight or slightly wavy hair, and I'd love to stop dyeing, but I don't see a realistic way to go straight. Blow-outs don't even work and I don't want to fry my hair with treatments.
I can style mine so it's not frizzy (conditioner in the shower, conditioner after the shower, then gel; avoid going outside until dry) but it takes a long time to dry and the curl pattern is unpredictable. I end up wearing it in an updo instead of messing with it, but I would like to wear it down more.
