Many of the posts state that they believe the bottle they received is not the real salon treatment (an imitation or sub par knockoff).

I first tried this a year and half ago and it was amazing. I ordered some more of this after trying to use a cheaper one, and FAIL. The name and branding of it changed it's not the same bottle that I had before. I do believe it is the same formula because it does soften and tame the frizz and it has that smell I remember, it's very distinctive - chocolately. It doesn't last as long for me anymore, because I have been training for fitness comps some I sweating my hair out twice a day, and of course the salt just strips the keratin right out. But, with that being said I think it's the real deal. Hope that helps. I first tried this a year and half ago and it was amazing.

I don't know if it is an imitation or not But it was good ,It change my thick ,curly (Asian) hair to soft and beautiful one . the salon treatments usually designed to be the strongest and they have to work in any condition with any person,i think coppola keratin that i used is not . It is good on my hair but i think in another type of hair such as black african hair it will be bad . if you use it before you already know that it is good on your hair weather it is imitation or not .actually i received 2 bottle the first one was good The second bottle was more liquid it is like chocolate milk may be it is expired or because of shipping anyway i applied the first one on my hair only (sorry for my English) I don't know if it is an imitation or not But it was good ,It change my thick ,curly (Asian) hair to soft and beautiful one . the salon treatments usually designed to be the strongest and they have to work in any condition with any person,i think coppola keratin that i used is not .

Hi Thanks for your query. The image showing is nothing to do with Coppola whatsoever. ALWAYS go by the text - that is the golden rule on Amazon as some sellers can change and manipulate images to deter competitors. The correct image IS now a blue/green bottle which has recently replaced the white bottles shown but someone is displaying the completely wrong thing here!

NO! Definitely not. It should be and the bottles are identical, but the product is definitely inferior. It appears slightly watered down. It does not have the same exact color and texture as what I buy in the Salon. Compare the two and it is noticeable. Other reviews made the same comment. I recently bought it from an online store called Stock N' Go and it was the same as the salon. I will never buy it from this seller again.

The Enjoy Sulfate-Free Hydrating Shampoo is supposed to watery. I've purchased it many times in salons and its always thin. I ordered it from this seller because the price was so much lower (in salons, each bottle is at least $19.95 for 11 ounces). My issue is that the shampoo I received is THICK, unlike what I've purchased at salons. This makes me think it isn't an authentic Enjoy product.

Well I think the product is not real in despite the hair look like other Irons. I was comparing this Iron with the real Babyliss and it has not many parts as real babyliss. Sorry it is my opinion. Is a good copy but your hair never look as well as when you use a original babyliss.

Just because I used this product a while back that doesn't mean I have the bottle in front of me or remember what exactly the bottle says. I gave you an answer based on your question assuming your product indicates it is in the form of an extract. Besides you question is truly irrelevant.Thank you,lia

I had exactly the same question -:) Called the company and was told it is the same item, just different labels, as sold through different channels (retail vs salons etc)

Brigette, I went on line to order this product because I was referred to it through my cousin who was turned on to it through her hairdresser. I looked on the box and all I found was "Ne Qual" Spa and Alter Ego Italy. When you go on line and look up "Alter Ego" it will probably give you the information you're looking for. Or you can ask your hairdresser at the salon. Hope that was helpful...S. Sargent

To: I LOVE MY GADGETS, A few months ago you asked me a question about Gro-aut. Well, I still believe in the product, and I'm on my third bottle. However, I forgot to mention that I'm also using Hairfinity and I want to stick with these two products for a while. Although, the reason for my contacting you now, is because I may have found something that you might be interested in checking out. Go to www.DasGro.com, there you will be able to read reviews from both men and women, although I couldn't find anything about DasGro on You Tube. This product is also sold through Amazon, and after X-Mas, it's going to be my next BIG TRIAL project. I really hope this helps.

I am, too, Lorraine. For years, I used Rejuvacote. then the salon whe I usually bought it was unable to get it any longer. I ordered what I thought was the same product only to get something with a 1 superimposed over the name. It does not work for me at all. I've used it faithfully, but without positive results. After reading the ingredient list, I discovered the formulation is different as well. The product descriptions do not differentiate, so I don't know which to order. The one as not visible in the amazon picture, so I wasn't alerted to the fact that the product might b e different than what I had been using. I wish I could help, but I need clarification, too!

Thanx for putting "nanny" straight. I cringed when she spoke about her then 12 yr old. I hope that little girl found some positive person to help and encourage her in her naturalness. :-)Ur feedback help me take another BIG step towards this hairdryer as there are not many other African Queens out there giving reviews on it. I only wish to straighten my natural hair every now and again as i do not particularly like doing so. I would like to do this with the least damage possible.

That was my fear at the time of purchase, but I am a frequent client of amazon and Moroccanoil and have always good experience with all products. I decided to try this. I am very happy with the results and so I assume that is a original product. I believe that something fake would have ruined my hair.

OK,Dragondancer, I just used the new order I received a couple days ago, and I, frankly, can't tell any difference from the original. I am also,frankly, not sure when the lower VOC regs went into effect. I have some product in an older can, and still, I don't see a difference. It holds well, and if my hair gets messed-up wearing a hat or a strong wind, my hair doesn't have that dirty feel like so many other hair sprays. I'd say you most likely will still be happy with this product, even though they have had to drop the VOC's to the newly approved levels. I know I am glad I can't tell any change, cause I hate that dirty feel. I hope that helped. Good Luck with it.

The bottle I have is real. It's gorgeous and it lasts the same as my previous bottles. Amazon seems to get really good prices on select perfumes. Another Guerlain at a great price is their Samsara eau de parfum. Also, they have Lanvin Arpege at a sensational low price. I don't have the Samsara yet, but I have the Arpege and it, too, is the real mccoy. As I remember, my Shalimar may not have come from Amazon directly. I think it came from a third party. There could be a difference depending on who actually fills the order.

It is not real. That's my opinion I only bought from my hair salon for two years but my salon closed down so I took a hands and bought on Amazon. What I got was not the same. I noticed the difference immediately. The color is darker and the smell is off the bottle doesn't match. Even my kids who are 10-6-5 all notice a difference. Since I use it in their hair ever day too they said mommy this smells bad. But they love the smell of the ones I bought at my local salon. I will never buy online again. I currently drive now 10 miles to buy. Hope this helps you. I wish someone wrote this review before I bought. :(

Yes; it's not the authentic stuff like I got from my salon. It was very watery. The smell was even different and it dried my hair out and even made it frizzy unlike the authentic product which made my hair so soft. I will not purchase from here again!! I might try Walgreens. I noticed that they sell it online, and I feel like they are more trustworthy. Also, I compared the bottles and the logo is different. I believe without a doubt this product is a fake. Save your hair and do not waste your money!! Pay a little more to ensure this product is genuine from a reputable seller.
