R+Co BADLANDS Dry Shampoo Paste Customer Reviews

This is a great product. Although it's described as a dry shampoo, given how much grit and hold it adds, I'd say it's also a texturizer and volumizer. Think Oribe dry texturizing or Serge Normant dry shampoo except in solid form. Scrape cautiously with your fingernails as a teeny tiny bit goes a long, long way. Also, the scent is light and fresh, but considering how little you'll need, it won't make a difference in how your hair smells.

I have dark brown moderate thickness slightly wavy hair. I currently have 7 different dry shampoos under my sink from drug store to expensive brands and have tried a lot of others. So far this one seems to reduce the oil the most without looking ashy. It's not exactly intuitive to use (compared to a spray at least) and a little goes a long way but it definitely works and the smell is pleasant. I like that it also provides some volume. If you use too much I can see how it would make your hair super dry like other reviewers noted. I take about a pea sized amount, squish between my finger tips and rub at my roots, then run my fingers through that dreaded behind-my-neck greasy hair and repeat that maybe one more time if needed. I'm actually surprised that this weird space agey stuff works but it does.

I've never felt anything like this product... it is a cream that transforms into a powdery feel when you rub it in your hands. It lets you put dry shampoo on only the oily areas of your hair and gives serious texture in a 'bed head beautiful' kind of way. Genius!! A little goes a long way too. Will be using this all the time!

this product has changed up my hair game. i have a really oily scalp - as in, I have to wash my hair everyday. my stylist recommended doing my best to go 3-4 days between washes and I told her I couldn't do it - so she intro'd me to this product. my biggest piece of advice, is that the cream, when rubbed into its powdery texture, is best applied right onto your scalp where the oil builds up. it absorbs from your scalp and prevents that 2nd day greasy hair smell. do this before you get greasy, or apply in conjunction with davines hair refresher to keep soft and clean.

once you get used to the texture and how to use it on your hair, this makes the best day 2/day 3 styling paste especially for braids and textured messy buns. If I'm applying as a dry shampoo I'll apply it the night before so it can start to absorb oil overnight and I'm good to go the next day. I'm completely converted to this dry shampoo from my HG psssst dry shampoo.

I love dry shampoo, but this product is NOT for my fine, thin hair. If anything, it weighed it down and made it greasy. It was worse after the product than before, for sure.

I received this as a sample long ago and have been surprised at how useful it is and how long it has lasted. Yes, it’s an effective dry shampoo, but it is also adds volume. Just soften a little between your fingers and work it through at the roots. I’m ordering the full size now.

You gotta rub to melt the paste in your fingers and it becomes a oil/serum. Works like a charm to control/fight oil, helps my hair stay teased/bouncy and actually soothes my psoriatic scalp! Cannot get enough - worth every penny. Goodbye spray dry shampoo!

I got this in a sample, like, forever ago and I can't stop thinking about it. I have thick curly hair that has issues with root volume. I use this less as a dry shampoo and more as a thickening paste. I apply it to just my roots when my hair is wet and then blow dry. If you're a dry curly girl looking for more volume (or a brunette), I recommend it! I'll probably buy the full version, even though the price hurts me.

I love this stuff. My hair is very fine and thin. When it’s greasy too this stuff dries it out and gives it body. I take a pea sized amount, rub and melt it in my hands then run it through all of my hair before combing it back to the shape I want again. Then give it a little juzsh for lift. It’s pretty great.
