In mechanics, and physics, Hooke's law of elasticity is an approximation that states that the extension of a spring is in direct proportion with the load added to it as long as this load does not exceed the elastic limit.

So if you keep inside the load limit of the spring, the spring will return to it's original shape. As soon as you exceed that load the spring will stretch and not return to it's original shape
