"Is that your natural hair?" "Well..." How would you define natural vs. unnatural hair?

This is really a technicality question, I would generally assume if someone said to me "is that your natural hair" then they were referring to the fact my hair is curly and I would answer "yes". However, I was just thinking about all the things that aren't "natural" about my hair and wondered at what point are you lying when you answer "yes, this is my natural hair".

'Unnatural' things I do:
-use products to hold the curl
-dye my hair a darker brown
-use hairspray
-dry my hair with a hairdryer/diffuser combo

So how would you define 'natural' hair? No products at all and just left to air dry? Or is it still 'natural' if you use a hairdryer to decrease drying time? Where do you consider the line to be?
 
i think if its your natural color but like you have gel of hairspray or straightened/curled its considered natural because its still your hair but when you dye your hair or have a weave its not your natural hair
 
I always took it to mean coloring. Although a perm could be unnatural, too (aka, this isn't my natural wave, etc.). Depends on what they're asking.
