I'm sorry, but I do believe that there can be such a thing.
My hair is very soft now since bleaching, and it gets even softer after applying conditioner and overdoing the conditioner is out of the question. I don't like how it feels at all, kinda slimey. I know slip is a good thing, but I don't want my hair feeling so soft - like melting mush.
So, I'm not ruling out the possibility, particularly if the hair is bone straight.

I have to agree. When I leave conditioner on for too long, my hair gets too soft and doesn't hold a curl well. I hate it like that! That's the reason I don't deep condition b/c I don't feel I need to. I bought the salerm Wheat germ conditioner this wknd, and even though I love the way my hair felt when i rinsed it out, I don't like how "whispy" and soft it feels now. I think I just need to leave it on for just a minute then rinse it right out.
Maybe you should just deep condition once a month? Do you really feel like you HAVE to do it every wk?

I too had a stylist to tell me that too conditioning would make my hair too soft and mushy. She stated that my hair was a soft hair like hers and that too much conditioning wasn't a good thing for our hair.
So, I would think some heads of hair are more effected by conditioning than others and you have to listen to your hair to tell what your hair needs are.

Note: My hair was considered soft by the stylist during a time when I was getting my hair steamed weekly.

Also, on outing day I stopped by one of Dudley's Beauty Schools/College. I was advised not to use it more that once every 2 weeks so not to make my hair mushy soft which is not a good thing. She assessed my hair and said it was fine. 1x a week for these past weeks hasn't been a negative thing but I will be careful....

The above quote was referring to steam treatments (an alternative way of deep conditioning).
