tension from the strings. flex it around too much, it's not gonna be happy. from my experience i let the string set a bit before i start retuning again.

also, this article might help.

I had that problem a while back. My only suggestion is that you let the strings adjust to the new tuning and slowly work them back to where they need to be. Think about it like a peace of elastic. Everytime you stretch it , it doesnt go back to the original size. Same sorta thing exact opposite.
