Hair dressers are terrified to color it b/c it's so thin and don't want anymore to fall out. I had my first gray hair at 21 and they're all over my head now. No hair cut looks good on me. Always looks gross.

I hate my hair as well. As for the colour I can warmly recommend a natural hair dye. Lush makes a very nice henna mix in a few different colours - pure henna which is orangey-red depending on your own colour, marron which is a beautiful auburn (an my fav), brown and black. There is no "black henna" in the products ( the stuff that causes horrible allergies), instead they use indigo and coffee to alter the natural henna. It actually thickens the hair slightly, and will not cause the hair to fall out, at least I have never heard of any adverse effects of it.
Castor oil is also supposed to help with hair loss, and I have actually got a bit more hair around my front (little baby hairs).
Make sure you don't brush your hair more than absolutely necessary, as fine hair is so much more prone to breakage. I would recommend scalp massage and gentle pulling on your hair to strengthen the follicles (may just be me but it seems to work)
I have also stopped using shampoo except for the once or so a month that I dye it with the Lush colour (I use shampoo then to strip the hair a bit and make the colour take better). Instead I use conditioner only to wash my hair. It never looks greasy or flat or anything, so at least for me it seems to work well.
Best of luck with your hair, I know the pain of being unhappy with your fine hair!
