Alguém sabe como a expressão se traduz ao português (Brasil)?

Portuguese translation:cabelos com frizz/esganiçados/com aspecto ressecado/ quebradiço
Explanation:
Os seguintes links (onde as mulheres reclamam de squeaky hair), levam a crer que a expressão não se trata apenas de cabelos limpos (da expressão 'squeaky clean') mas sim de uma consequência negativa: cabelos que de tão "limpos" perdem seus óleos naturais, resultando numa aparência ressecada, quebradiça, sem brilho, duro.

No contexto em questão, "cabelo ressecado" me pareceu ser a melhor solução. Não vou entrar a sugestão no glossário, já que a solução varia conforme o contexto. Obrigada!

cabelo oleoso


Explanation:
Creio que squeaky quer dizer oleoso, gorduroso. Em Português de Portugal, eu traduziria como cabelo oleoso

disagree  Marlene Curtis: "squeaky" se refere ao som do cabelo muito limpo no contato com a escova ao ser penteado. Ver ttp://www.worsleyschool.net/science/files/amusement/hair.html/Náo é uma condição permanente, pois a oleosidade retorna com algumas escovadas.

  -> Ofereci uma possibilidade que pode se encaixar no contexto, evidências estão no próprio link: "The dirt is gone, and so is the oil." "Your hair would dry out " - o termo também é usado desta forma, depende do texto a ser traduzido e da conotação implícita

Here's a hair that has just been washed, either by having been immersed in water when swimming, or by showering with a detergent shampoo.
The dirt is gone, and so is the oil. All that's left is a smooth strand of hair. If you run your fingers through clean hair like this, friction between your fingers and the hair itself will make the hair vibrate just as if you were running your finger down a violin string. That's the squeak

cabelo que chia


Explanation:
Did you ever notice that when your hair is wet, especially after you've just washed it, you can run your fingers through it and it squeaks?
That's where the expression 'squeaky clean' comes from!
The question is, why does your hair squeak when it's clean!
Let's look at some hairs close up and find out ...

squeaks - chia
squeaky clean - tão limpo que chia
why does your hair squeak - por que o seu cabelo chia

Ao frotar a mão com o cabelo (couro cabeludo), se ouve um chiado. Como quando lavamos a mão com sabão, aquele chiadinho...

Minha opinião.
