Our verdict

A dry shampoo in paste form that absorbs oil and adds matte texture and volume between washes. It is a styling product, so very long or fine hair can feel coated with too much.

Overview

R+Co Badlands is a dry shampoo and styling paste in one: warmed between the fingers and worked through roots and ends, it soaks up oil with Hawaiian volcanic ash and zeolite and leaves matte, reworkable texture.

Refreshing second-day hair and styling it in one step is the reason to own it. A paste spreads less evenly than a spray, so long hair takes more work.

Who it's for

Good for textured crops, lived-in waves and second-day styles. Those who want shine or a sleek finish should use a pomade.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Absorbs oil and styles at once
  • Matte, reworkable hold
  • No heavy residue
  • Vegan and Leaping Bunny certified
Cons
  • Harder to spread on long hair
  • Too much can feel coated

Performance notes

Volcanic ash and zeolite are porous minerals that take up scalp oil, while the paste base gives grip for volume. Warming it first decides how evenly it spreads.
