Now Sally's is Knocking Off As I Am Coconut Co-Wash

[MileHighDiva]

gorgeoushair, I don't think there's anything wrong with them making the knock-off, it's that they're shameless. For example, with the Mixed Chick/Mixed Silk debacle they not only knocked off their formula, but also the coloring, name, font/print style, and packaging etc. With this Co-wash it's in a brown jar, that can potentially confuse consumers. Especially, uneducated ones.

At least, with the GVP products they're being transparent. They state that it's similar to Joico K-Pak, or Matrix Biolage. You know your buying a dupe, upfront. In addition, the price is significantly less than the name brand product. Sally's is selling this stuff for $7.99 w/o card and $7.19 with a Sally card. That's the same price they charge for the As I Am Co-Wash, unless it's on sale.

If you send your SO/Hubby/Kid to Sally's to buy the As I Am Co-Wash on your behalf and you told them it's in a brown jar. They could see the Silk Elements in a brown jar and the words co-wash, then your P.O'd, because they brought the wrong product home.

Just my thoughts!

The Sally's workers stay buying up As I Am (they admitted it)...maybe they'll fall in love with the Sally's brand and As I Am will be available when I want it. Just saying.

mz.rae IDareT'sHair, I seen the jbco and thought, this has a lot extra stuff. I may buy some when I run out to see if I like it. Please let me know what you think about it whenever you try it.

It was all extra & thangs

$4.99 You know you ain't gettin' much of nothin'

Imma pull it up on line to see what that was after Carrot Oil. It had SKU numbers over the rest of the ingredients.

Definitely a Blend. Not too bad for a blend:

I like As I Am but wouldn't purchase the Sally knockoffs. I've never had a good experience with them.

All I know is that if any of this effects my sallys knock off of chi silk infusion I will be pissed!!!

Sally's have a knock off product for every damn product out there.......steups. Ain't nobody got time for shopping at Sally's. People should just boycott their stores.

I honestly don't see that its a problem. Every store has a knock off brand of name brands. Walmart has Equate, Target has Up&UP, Suave has Suave Professionals, etc. I do agree that they should probably put on there something like "Compare to _____" like they do with the GVP products. Most companies will try to make a product similar to what is selling well, or improve on that product.

Why are we surprised though. Everyone has a knock off. There is always a no-frills around. I've never tried As I am or Mixed Chicks, but based on reviews I've seen (mostly bad) I fail to believe Sally's could make it much worse than it already was. IJS

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together

Saludable84, the AIA Coconut CoWash is TheBomb.com! Your hair and scalp will be clean w/o the stripped feeling, if you're into co-washing. I have fallen in love with boutique hair brands, so it's nice to have something I can buy on the ground. Currently, Sally's has a buy 2, get one free sale for the AIA CoWash, which is 1/3rd off, plus you can stack your %15 off coupon. That's 48 oz of co-wash for $13.58 + tax, which for me is a good deal.

I can't speak for their other products, because I have not used them due to their price point. If I'm spending that much $$$ on a product, I'd rather support a brotha or sistah.

I just hear so many mixed things about it. And I'm texlaxed, so the reviews are even more confusing.
