R+Co Badlands Dry Shampoo Paste — the cult-status dry shampoo paste that adds volume, texture and root lift with a matte finish, and absorbs oil while actually doing something interesting with the hair.
The Moda Team Review
Badlands is the dry shampoo the Moda team reaches for more than almost anything else in the R+Co range. It is not just a dry shampoo — it is a texturising paste that adds volume, grip and body at the root while absorbing oil. The paste format means it activates in the hand rather than spraying on, distributes through the root with fingertips, and leaves hair looking and feeling like it has been styled rather than just refreshed. The matte finish gives grip and body rather than a clean, invisible result — this is the dry shampoo for clients who want a style outcome as well as oil control. One of the most recommended R+Co products at Moda.
Why Moda Carries This
R+Co was founded by hairdressers — people who actually work behind a chair — and every product in the range reflects that. Badlands is a standout product in the R+Co range and one of the team's personal go-to recommendations. If you only buy one R+Co product, consider making it this one. Retail only.
Key Ingredients
-
Oil-Absorbing Paste Complex: Starch-based oil absorption in a paste format that activates in the hand and delivers texture, grip and volume alongside oil control.
Moda Pro Tip
Warm a small amount between fingertips until it softens, then work through the roots with fingers. Use less than you think — Badlands activates and expands slightly when worked through the hair. The result should look styled and textured, not product-heavy.
How To Use
- Scoop a small amount and warm between fingertips until softened.
- Work through roots section by section with fingers.
- Tousle or style as desired for volume and texture.
