What happened

I didn’t believe in hair oil until I tried Olaplex.

Why it matters

It’s a classic for a reason and I learned that very quickly, but as someone who can’t go more than two or three days without washing my hair, the concept of putting oil in my already kind of naturally oily hair made no sense.

Common ground

But then, as I mentioned above, I tried Olaplex No.

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.
