R+CO BADLANDS DRY SHAMPOO PASTE

THE PITCH: Part dry shampoo, part styling paste. Gives you second-day texture and absorbs

oil. Its matte finish and reworkable hold mean no build-up, just badass style.

THE DETAILS: Looks like wet sand in the jar, scoops out like

wax, melts to an oil in the fingers, and dries to a powder

in the hair. THE VERDICT: Although many powder styling products drop onto your clothing and can cast white on dark hair, the unusual

texture of Badlands Dry Shampoo Paste allows it to disappear swiftly into the hair

without mess. With serious texturising properties this isn’t

a product for those who like princess locks, but its incredible grip makes it perfect for holding an updo in place.

THE PRICE: $46 BEST FOR: Transforming tired hair into rock and roll texture.

Giving grip and hold to a modern braid or chignon. Perfect for those who prefer

edgy over pretty.
