Spongy hair?

What exactly is spongy hair and how can a conditioner help with that?

Hair that absorbs a lot of water? I've never really heard that term.

Well, ya learn something new every day!

So, I guess it's hair that's kind of "bouncy", as in if you compress it, it bounces back. I imagine Art Garfunkel's hair is like that.

Um...
When I hear the term "spongy" applied to hair - it means "damaged",
- usually by over-processing.

A conditioner (it would have to be a REALLY GOOD ! one)
ie; John Frieda's salon products
(not drug store - although they are good too)
designed to combat "spongy" hair would be one that coats
each individual hair in order to seal in conditioner-provided moisture
and natural oils and seal out/ repel outside bad stuff like air pollutants,
and moisture (humidity) in the air.

Good luck with that... };>

"Springy" refers to 'resilient' hair.
It is healthy hair, natural undamaged hair,
sometimes curly hair.
Hair that can be "directed" to behave in an
"owner-desired" manner.

(Art Garfunkel's hair is both wiry and curly! Extreeemely! curly.)
The "bouncy" part is incidental.





P.S. Right in the middle of this reply -
the site cut me off and posted an additional page containing this message:

What? I did NOT DO anything -
I was TYPING at the time.
It did not prevent me from closing out the page and
returning to this one, where I was otherwise unmolested.
HUH?

Ja'aj, I think you're right about that.

As for the rest of your last post... could you take a screenshot of that and remember... I am the Chief and feel you may be the blame for that problem.

Seriously, is this the only time that has happened?

Bree,
Ahaaahahahhaaa!
What about all the REST! of my reply?
Hmmm?
I answered your Q about how a condidtion might help, ya know.

A "screenshot" might have been possible - AT THE TIME.
(Didja read the part where I said, "seperate page/closed it"?)
If -God forbid!- it ever happens again...
I will -you may be sure take a screenshot of it.

You are sooo not Chief - bless you! and it probably WAS
something Ol' Mo and I did. Damned if I know WHAT, though...

Ja'aaaaaj!!! I suppose a condition might help, if someone needs it. I just wondered how someone could have spongy hair.
I will keep the condition in mind, if someone needs to know... honest!

I'm not doing the Chief thing right, am I? WHAT am I doing wrong?

Honestly... a screenshot might be useful, if it keeps happening.

Well... see that you do...

No. You aren't doing the Chief-thing right. (Yay!)
"Doing wrong?"

IMO...
You seem to be genuinely concerned -intersted! even-
in the problem and how so solve it.
I figured out - waay back! - that a "screenshot" is just Chief's
way of assigning busy-work.

Yes, I know a screenshot would be helpful -
and if it ever happens again *gasp* I will get you one.
BTW... (Watch - I bet you opt for "both"...)
do you want a screenshot of the "ERROR! notice"
(geez. Really- there was no need to SHOUT-and in BLUE yet!)
and / or a screenshot of whatever I was doing at the time it ocurred?
