R+Co Badlands Dry Shampoo Paste — 2.2 oz Matte Texture & Oil-Absorbing Styling Paste

Designed for people who need fast second-day hair fixes or instant lived-in volume, this 2-in-1 formula blends oil-absorbing dry shampoo with a styling paste that gives shape without shine. It comes in a 2.2 oz jar and is formulated to reduce visible oil, create lift at the roots, and remain pliable so you can reshape hair throughout the day.

How does this product revive second-day hair?

Badlands targets oily roots and limp strands by combining absorbent powders with texturizing waxes. A small amount rubbed into roots soaks up excess oil and leaves hair feeling cleaner while restoring separation and volume.

• Absorbs grease at the scalp for fresher-feeling hair
• Creates root lift and separation for renewed volume
• Matte finish avoids the weighed-down look of heavy creams

Can I style with it, or is it just for refreshing?

It’s both a refresher and a styling aid: use on dry hair for texture or on damp hair before blow-drying to boost fullness. The formula gives a light, reworkable hold so strands keep shape but remain movable rather than locked in place.

• Workable paste provides flexible hold for shaping and tousling
• Use on damp hair plus a blow dryer to amplify volume
• No sticky residue—restyles without buildup

What’s inside the jar and is it safe for different hair types?

The blend includes volcanic ash to help absorb and cleanse, coconut oil to add thickness and conditioning benefits, and argan oil for lightweight nourishment. It’s formulated for universal use across fine to thick hair, but as with any concentrated paste, start with a small amount to find your ideal level.

• Volcanic ash—acts as an oil-absorbing powder
• Coconut oil—supports texture and body
• Argan oil—adds slip and shine control without weighing hair down

How do I use it without over-applying?

Less is more: warm a pea-sized amount between your fingertips, target the roots or mid-lengths, then blend in. For added lift, apply to damp hair and blow-dry or use on dry hair to create bedhead-style texture and separation.

• Start with a pea-sized amount and build as needed
• Rub between fingers before applying to avoid clumps
• Rework during the day for refreshed shape and texture

Who is this for: R+Co Badlands Dry Shampoo Paste is made for anyone who wants cleaner-looking roots and undone texture without stiffness—ideal for busy mornings, multi-day blowouts, and anyone who prefers a matte, lived-in finish. Cruelty-free and designed by a collective of stylists, it’s a compact, travel-friendly option for shaping, refreshing, and extending hairstyles across all hair types.
