lol...yes for the time being it seems that way.

But just to clarify ... the "hell" I put my hair through is not nearly as "hellish" as it sounds.  I never used to used ANY heat or chemicals on my hair and now that I've started pretty much ANYTHING I do to my hair I think is "hellish."  I should have never started ... ::sigh::

Wow ... I was not aware that you could actually over condition your hair.  I put my hair through hell with blow dryers, flat irons and hair dye so I condition my hair every single day with "intensive restoration" conditioners.  I hope I'm not ruining my hair with all of the conditioning I'm doing...but I feel as though its necessary because of what I put my hair through.  So far my hair seems to be in OK condition ... ughhh, this is so confusing!!!

Layla used a perfect word: gummy. Oh, and gooey. sticky. or crunchy.

But really, you'd know if you overconditioned.

interesting, well then, i guess i will still condition away cause im trying to heal my damaged broken hair, and got scared that maybe i was conditioning too much.  when did hair get so complicated???? 

so how do you know if you are over moisturizing, or need more moisturizing if the symptoms are the same???

Over or under moisturizing hair can cause what dermatologists call fiber moisturization imbalane which can cause dry,unmanagable,dull,brittle hair.I don't know how you would know if your overmoisturizing or undermoisturizing because the symptons are the same.
