What happened

I almost couldn’t believe the price when I saw it.

Why it matters

As someone who has been testing shampoos for years, I’ve tried just about everything promising softer, shinier and healthier-looking hair.

Common ground

Some formulas have impressed me, others have been quickly forgotten, but one shampoo I continue to come back to is BioSilk Hydrating Shampoo.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Appeal to Authority, Glittering Generalities: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
