Wiry, Cottony, Spongy??? What's the difference??

[Ms_Twana]

Okay, I was trying to type my hair according to LOIS, and I didn't really get the whole texture thing. Okay, here's what it says about the different textures:

Thready - Hair as a low sheen, with high shine if the hair is held taut (as in a braid), with low frizz. Wets easily but water​

dries out quickly.


Wiry - Hair has a sparkly sheen, with low shine and low frizz. Water beads up or bounces off the hair strands. Hair never seems to get fully wet.

Cottony - Hair has a low sheen, a high shine if the hair is held taunt and has high frizz. Absorbs water quickly but does not get thoroughly wet very fast.

Spongy - Hair has a high sheen with low shine with a compacted looking frizz. Absorbs water before it gets thoroughly wet.


WHAT?!?!?! Can someone explain this in ENGLISH!!! LOL!!!! TIA!!​

Well, when i saw the title I thought d'uh wiry-like wire; cottony- like cotton wool and spongy like well, a sponge. Ok as hair typing I REALLY don't know but I think I might be spongy?
