I generally have really tight curls, so much to the point that they are ringlets. I am 17 now and feel like I have outgrown them of at least want a change.
What are some natural ways to loosen or weigh down extremely tight curls?
(This was a good hair day, I normally have tons of frizz)

Your curls are beautiful! My curls are much tighter than yours so I do this thing called banding. After I wash and condition my hair at night I put my hair in a tight ponytail using an fabric elastic band. Then I proceed to place them down the length of my braid....tightly to elongate the curl. Make sure you space the bands out at a nice distance from one another or else if not you hair will come out looking like you used a crimper (but hey if you like that look go for it). Sleep with them over night and if they aren't completely dry the next morning use a diffuser on low to further dry your hair focusing on the crown of your hair since that is where you probably get a lot of volume and frizz. Once dry undo the bands and spritz with a liquid conditioner (I just mix my standard leave in conditioner with water and use in a spray bottle). Whatever you do....do not let your fingers anywhere near your hair unless you want the evil frizz to come back....I suggest the head toss and shake to get it all loose. And styled to your liking you are set to go. :)
