THE DESK'S CALL
The headline.
Our U.S. default: OUAI Detox for ordinary buildup
ON THE RECORD
What keeps the headline honest.
This is an editorial conclusion from the stated context. It is not a claimed product trial, diagnosis, or universal ranking.
Decision change
OUAI is our default for ordinary buildup — not for every sensitive scalp and not for a specific color-service metal or repair-system question.
Evidence boundary
Cleansing strength, dry-hair feel, scalp comfort, and practical results were not compared by Strand Report in an owned test.
What could overturn the headline.
THE COUNTER-CASE
- A manufacturer page does not prove comparative performance or individual tolerance.
- A different formula, size, or variant cannot be treated as the same product version.
STILL UNREPORTED
- Cleansing strength, dry-hair feel, scalp comfort, and practical results were not compared by Strand Report in an owned test.
