R+Co Badlands Dry Shampoo Paste | Adds Texture & Absorbs Oil with Matte Finish | Vegan + Cruelty-Free | 2.2oz

I thought I'd tried everything, but this was the game changer. I'm not a person who generally shells out for expensive hair shit, but this is so worth it that I always keep a backup supply to make sure I never run out. One of those rare products that actually dramatically improves the quality of your life if you feel like you're constantly battling stringy/greasy/flat/sad hair. -It does an excellent job of preventing greasiness -It volumizes better than any product I've used before -It can be used to add a lot of texture -It smells incredible (fresh and gingery) Things to note: -If you care a lot about your hair feeling soft and silky, this is not for you. Your hair will feel "beachy," like you sprayed it with salt spray -It won't make your hair look that clean if it's already oily (although it will look better, because of the increased volume and texture), and it's not that well suited for use on dry hair. The best time to use it is while your hair is clean and still wet. -If you do want to re-apply it later in the day, I'd suggest mixing it with some root spray or hair spray so that it's easier to spread around. -Focus it on your roots if you just want volume and oil prevention, pull it through the rest of your hair if you want more texture

I love this stuff! I have thick wavy hair that I like to blowout but usually by day 2 my hair has lost all the volume in the front. This product is perfect, for giving a little refresh and adding some hold so my front pieces are not falling flat and can be easily manipulated into the shape I want. I have dark brown hair and there is no white residue. I warmed a small amount up in my hands and they ran it through my roots and I love it! I will note though that after initially applying it, my roots did feel quite dry but as it wears that goes away.

This is a really unique product. For those complaining it doesn't work as a typical styling paste, I don't think it is meant to work like that. It is truly a dry shampoo in paste form. It needs to be applied to the roots. If you are looking for a styling paste for the ends, I wouldn't choose this since that is not what it is designed for. My only complaint is that it smells like the cheapest, most noxious dollar store citronella candle. If it weren't for the fact that you can't smell it after a couple hours, I'd have had to throw this away. I really hope R+Co considers reformulating this with a less offensive scent.

I use this to give my stick-straight, flat hair volume. It's also good for day 2 bangs so they don't look greasy.

Not great for fine hair. I used a smaller than pea size amount on second day hair and it made it look dirtier and left it feeling tacky and matted

I have a love hate relationship with this product. It feels like sand is in your hair after using it but because of that it holds really well in my bangs because they like to split. It has unfortunately cause me to break out on my forehead like crazy. It is hidden by the bangs but not thrilled about the acne. I’ve used this product for a few months. I reserve it now for special occasions when I need my bangs to look perfect but not for everyday use which makes me really sad because it works so well for styling my bangs. It gives great volume and hold in the rest of my hair. I don’t use it as a dry shampoo though.

This is my first purchase from R+Co Badlands and no regrets. I was looking for something to freshen up my roots and lift/boost hair in-between washes (that is not a spray) ...this is it! The fragrance is light and hair stays soft. My hair type: naturally curly, I blow dry it straight with round brush 2x a week. I have not experienced any sticky, gritty or greasy hair. Don't let size of the product discourage you-only a small amount on the fingertips is needed to work into the roots. Perfect "next day hair" quick styling fix. Try it now during Black Friday sale!

I love this product so much! I have extremely oily hair that is usually in a shag but is currently in a mullet. I was having a hard time styling the mullet to my liking, but after using this product on very oily, second-day hair, it is MUCH easier to style. It will give you a ton of texture, a little bit of piecey-ness, and a hold that lasts all day. Other reviews have mentioned the scent, and it is divine and very clean smelling. The container is pretty small, but I barely used a "finger full" (a swipe out of the container) to do my whole head, so I predict it will last an extremely long time, which is why I feel the price is fair. I LOVE this stuff, and I am a dry shampoo fiend and very anti-gel and anti-pomade, so I was surprised by how much I like this. It doesn't harden the hair at all like gels and pomades do, but gives enough hold to last a work day. Definitely recommend.
