R+Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo may have a morbid-sounding name (“The place where oily roots go to die.”), but, ironically, it makes me feel so alive! — like, in a “Damn, this is so good!” kinda way.
A $29 can of Death Valley is right up there with the gold standard in dry shampoo/texturizing sprays for me, Oribe’s Dry Texturizing Spray, WHICH IS HELLA BOMB, but it’s $42…
Like the Oribe spray, Death Valley feels like nothing in my hair. I can’t feel it sitting on my scalp or anywhere (other than a bit of a gritty feeling) and the mist shoots out super fine, so it’s virtually invisible, even on dark hair.
My hair feels a bit gritty when I use it (just a bit), but by no means would I call it crispy. So, your hair will not feel like uncooked Ramen noodles.
Like all R+Co products, it smells like fancy perfume, which I love. The scent is R+Co’s “Rosy Eyed” fragrance, which is a blend of bergamot, fig, tonka beans, cedar wood and lotus flower.
And you know what I heard through the grapevine? Oribe and R+Co are owned by the same company, Luxury Brand Partners, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the lines share some recipes.
I mean, you can find similar formulas across the Estée Lauder brands (MAC, Bobbi Brown, etc.), so I’m just saying… I wouldn’t be surprised.

This looks great! I actually checked out the brand after you posted about it previously and I bought the prep spray! I love it! It saves my hair before hot ironing it and smells amazing (lemony and somehow reminds me of Italy)!
Hi Sakura,
Sweet! I’m so glad you’re liking it. They make a LOT of really cool stuff. 🙂
This brand is very interesting, but I haven’t yet seen it around here in Germany. Which is a shame, I would totally buy this one!
I love your uncooked ramen comparison. 🙂 Agreed on both the recipe share and the much better value at $29.
I haven’t used dry shampoo in forever but that seems like a winner based on smell alone! I love anything fig or tonka!
