The Complete R+Co Buying Guide: Fashion-Forward Hair Care for Every Style

R+Co is the hair care brand born from a collective of the world's most influential session stylists and salon owners. Conceived as a creative project by the salon industry's top names, R+Co products are named after places, songs, and cultural touchstones — Badlands Dry Shampoo, Death Valley Dry Texture Spray, Cassette Curl Defining Mousse — and formulated to perform at the level stylists demand on editorial shoots and in their chairs.

The formulas are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, free from parabens, mineral oil, and petrolatum, and crafted with a clean beauty philosophy that doesn't compromise on performance. Every bottle is a piece of design, and every product inside it is engineered to deliver visual, tactile results that clients notice immediately.

At ProHair.ca, we carry the full R+Co range because our clients want hair care that's as creative as their style. From the cult-favourite Badlands Dry Shampoo to the Gemstone colour care line and the Bleu prestige range, R+Co gives professional results with a fashion-forward edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who created R+Co?

R+Co was founded by a collective of influential North American salon owners and stylists — including Howard McLaren, Garren, Thom Priano, and other industry leaders — who wanted to create a brand that reflected the creative vision of working stylists rather than a corporate formula lab.

Is R+Co actually clean/natural?

R+Co products are free from parabens, mineral oil, petrolatum, sulfates (in shampoos), and are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. They use a clean-forward formulation philosophy while maintaining the professional performance levels stylists require.

What is Badlands Dry Shampoo best for?

Badlands is ideal for second-day hair that needs oil absorption and volume restoration. It's particularly popular for its ability to add gritty, lived-in texture rather than leaving a white powdery cast. It works on all hair colours, including brunettes and redheads.

How is R+Co Bleu different from regular R+Co?

Bleu is R+Co's elevated prestige tier with more concentrated, luxury formulas for repair, scalp care, and advanced styling. The packaging is also more premium. It's designed for clients who want the best-of-the-best within the R+Co universe.

Is R+Co available in Canada?

Yes — ProHair.ca is an authorized Canadian R+Co retailer carrying the full range including Badlands, Death Valley, Cassette, Gemstone, and the full Bleu Prestige collection.

Can R+Co products be used on color-treated hair?

Yes — most R+Co products are color-safe and sulfate-free, making them well-suited for color-treated hair. The Gemstone Color Care line is specifically designed for color protection and tone maintenance.
