Is it a bad thing when your hair is too soft?

[a_ caribbean_dream]

I have natural thick 4a/b hair and i washed my hair almost every day the past week. It is so soft, i'm not complaining or anything. I was just wondering if it could become a bad thing like an impending breakage issue...

Soft hair is a good thing! Just regularly test your strands for porosity and elasticity to see if the hair is in need of protein, etc.

Hair is supposed to be soft. Softness becomes a problem when the hair is so soft that it is no longer strong enough to resist breakage and regular manipulation. Soft and weak is a problem, but soft and strong is how the hair should be in optimal condition.
