[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Fill a glass with water. [/FONT]


[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Drop a couple of strands of hair into the glass and wait 30 seconds. [/FONT]


[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]If hair floats, hair is well moisturized. [/FONT]


[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]If it sinks, hair is too dry and porous. [/FONT]


[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Overly dry hair sinks because it literally sucks up the water and becomes too heavy to float. [/FONT]


[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Therefore, don't color [or do any chemical processes] until you have thoroughly conditioned hair so that it is well moisturized, not dry. [/FONT]


[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]If hair sinks, a deep hair moisturizing treatment is needed. [/FONT]

Virgin natural hair here. On occasion, I will take a shed hair and pull it apart to see how long it takes to break. I am happy to say it takes much longer to snap than it did two months ago and it is not very stretchy. There is no set guideline for how long it should take to break. Google "hair tensile strength"...people have found interesting things about it.
