R+Co is more than just pretty packaging. Yes, the bottles are beautiful, but as my mom says, it's what's on the inside that really counts. (That's a lie — my mother is way too cynical to say something that mushy.) In this case, the inside is composed of ingredients like micellar water, fruit extracts, vitamins B and E, and coconut oil. The brand has perfected every product that belongs in a healthy hair routine, including some steps you didn't know you needed, like dry shampoo mist.
I've been using R+Co for years, but even more so since my salon started stocking its products a few months ago. I chatted with my stylist, Steph Hoppe of the Trent Edward Salon in Lake Oswego, OR, about her favorites as well as which items sell like hotcakes.

R+Co Sail Soft Wave Spray
"I love R+Co Sail Soft Wave Spray ($29) because it's great for curly hair or straight hair," Hoppe said. "I personally put it on wet and diffuse it into my hair, or use it dry on hot-iron-curled hair to add hold and texture. It makes my straight hair hold curls for days."

R+Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo
Thanks to a mix of rice protein, vitamin E, and silica, R+Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo ($18) is ideal for soaking up excess oil while adding clean-looking shine. (Oh, and it smells really, really good.)

R+Co Dallas Thickening Spray
"R+Co Dallas Thickening Spray ($29) is awesome because it's a lightweight volumizing spray that can be used on anyone's hair type. Since it's a spray, it's easy to use and it's buildable, so you can apply as much or as little as you need."

R+Co Gemstone Color Shampoo
Not only is R+Co Gemstone Color Shampoo ($32) a bestseller at the salon, but it's also my personal favorite. You only need a little blob every few days to keep color-treated hair looking healthy.

R+Co Centerpiece All-in-One Elixir Spray
"R+Co Centerpiece All-in-One Elixir Spray ($32) is another favorite," Hoppe said. "It's a leave-in treatment that is lightweight and amazing on damaged hair. I use it as a primer, meaning it's the first product I use, and build other stylers over the top. It's a great detangler as well."

R+Co Television Perfect Hair Conditioner
I've tried a number of the brand's conditioners, but R+Co Television Perfect Hair Conditioner ($32) is by far my favorite. It's good for every hair type, and 80 percent of Amazon reviewers gave it five stars — it's hard to beat that kind of track record.

R+Co High Dive Moisture + Shine Crème
Nary a shower goes by that I don't massage in a bit of R+Co High Dive Moisture + Shine Crème ($29) before air-drying or styling. If your hair is low-maintenance — or you just wish it were — this is the product you should be using to calm flyaways and add "Oh, it just dries like this!" shine.

R+Co Spiritualized Dry Shampoo Mist
"R+Co Spiritualized Dry Shampoo Mist ($28) is a dry shampoo that uses micellar water, so it's actually cleaning your hair. I love it because it doesn't weigh down my fine hair; however, my friend with thick, coarse hair loves it as well."

R+Co Palm Springs Pre-Shampoo Treatment Masque
Once a week, I pregame for my shower with the R+Co Palm Springs Pre-Shampoo Treatment Masque ($32). I (probably) use way more than I need to, then I put my hair up in a french twist and let it soak in while the steam from my shower works its magic with the blend of oils — argan, babassu seed, and coconut — to condition my ends.

R+Co Turntable Curl Defining Cream
For a little texture, reach for the R+Co Turntable Curl Defining Cream ($29). Amazon reviews rave that this cream "smells awesome, WORKS." It's also a bestseller at the salon.

R+Co Crown Scalp Scrub
R+Co Crown Scalp Scrub ($38) works so well, you might feel the urge to use it more than once a week. I love it because it banishes buildup and gives my (naturally dry) scalp that squeaky-clean feeling.

R+Co Acid Wash Apple Cider Vinegar Cleansing Rinse
Full disclosure: I have not personally tried R+Co Acid Wash Apple Cider Vinegar Cleansing Rinse ($32). However, I have heard wonderful things about the cult favorite. Containing good-for-you ingredients like apple extract and aloe vera, the light wash is basically a reset button for your hair and scalp — and that's something even my mom might get mushy about.
