English term or phrase: crunchy
si riferisce ai capelli, in quanto si tratta di un prodotto che dona volume e lucentezza.
"On curls, it enhances volume and rejuvenates giving healthy looking, shining and well defined curls. Hair is left soft and smooth, not crunchy".
Più avanti nel testo, dice:
"apply suitable amount on clean damp hair and scrunch or twist to create long lasting curls".
Grazie in anticipo!

Silly question...what does "crunchy" hair mean?

Stiff and brittle feeling, as if made from a pile of straw and or stale candy/dry cereal.

Stiff and brittle, like it would snap easily if you pull on it. It might sound like walking on parched dead grass when you squeeze it.

rigidi


Explanation:
secondo me si fa riferimento a quell'effetto di ricci 'rigidi' e poco naturali che si ottiene quando si applica troppa spuma o gel sui capelli ricci
