What would you rather do to your hair? Dye it? Perm it? Trying to maintain chemically treated hair? Or grow out your virgin hair and take care of it

My hair is naturally curly, I normally keep its natural hair color, and it’s completely virgin for a few years. But then I get bored and add blonde highlights. Then I get bored and grow my natural color out again. I’ll never bleach or chemically straighten my hair. But I will use a semi permanent hair dye every blue moon if I’m bored of my dark curls and want to brighten it. I take very good care of my hair btw.
