A HuffPost shopping piece recommends eight hair-care products, including a shampoo and conditioner set and a curl-enhancing oil, framed as a personal fix for split ends and heat damage. The products are discounted up to 30% as part of an Amazon Prime Day sale, and the article discloses it may earn a commission on purchases made through its links.
Evidence for effectiveness consists of the writer's own experience and a secondhand customer review posted on Amazon.
The full dispatch is available from the source below.
✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
A sale on shampoo wrapped in a personal essay is still a sale on shampoo. The only thing reversed here is the usual order of operations, where the ad used to come after the story instead of being the story.
