It is a moisture response — individual strands expanding laterally when the cuticle can't hold water inside the shaft. Humidity accelerates it. Harsh cleansers cause it. Rough towels worsen it. The fix is rarely a single product: it is a sequence of decisions made from wash to finish that cumulatively tell each strand it has enough water and doesn't need to go looking for more.
