Hi Sorors and Sister Friends,
Yes, I have actually seen someone who has used Copa. You see, I had been wearing microbraids for about six months, and I wanted a rest from the braids but I didn't want a perm. So I went to this store in my town that carried only natural products for African-Americans. The owner of the store used the product, and suggested I use it. She said the product was gentle on her hair, but it doesn't actually straighten the hair. It's not like a relaxer or a pressing comb. Like they say, it just slightly releases the curl in your hair so that it is more managable. The thing is, it depends on your hair texture - and you still have to use heat on your hair if you want that "relaxed" look. I chickened out, I didn't use the product, but I did read the box - it says it has a money back gurantee, but what does that mean these days. The lady that worked at the store was very trustworthy, I don't think that she would have tried to sell me something that would take my hair out. She also said the woman who invented the product had grown out her hair to her behind (I saw the before and afters). I would suggest anyone who is interested in Copa to contact a knowledgable salon about the product. If they are professional, they should have some sort of research on the product. I hope this helps!
P.S. After I took out the braids, my hair was to my shoulders, and I cut it off short this past weekend Halle Berry short) so oh-well!
