Just wasted $80 on a purple shampoo that dried out my clients' hair

I bought this fancy purple shampoo from a supply store in Nashville last month because the bottle had this shiny label and the sales girl swore it was the best for blondes. After using it on three clients, their hair felt like straw and the color didn't even tone down the brassiness. One client actually asked if I changed my water source because her ends felt so crunchy. I ended up going back to the cheap generic brand I used for years and it works way better. Has anyone else fallen for a pretty bottle and regretted it?

Pretty bottles and fancy labels get all of us sometimes. It's like how people buy expensive water bottles that leak all over their car but keep using the old one that works.

I see this all the time with kitchen gadgets people buy because they look nice on the counter, then they just stick to their old wooden spoon or scratched up nonstick pan that actually works. There's something about trusting what you already know works that beats a pretty new thing every time.
