R+Co Trophy Shine + Texture Spray & Sail Soft Wave Spray

I’ve played with multiple items from R+Co in the past. Trophy Shine + Texture Spray is fairly new to the line. I just never happened to notice R+CO Sail Soft Wave Spray in the past. I’ve been playing with both for some time. Both products come in an aerosol can which makes for easy application.

Both are extremely easy to use. Spray on damp hair. Air dry. Easy. I love texture and salt sprays, I never blow dry my hair anymore, I air dry and like a bedhead or tousled messy look.

Sail Soft Wave Spray is a standard salt spray except it’s in a pressurized can for easy dispensing. It makes my hair softer, adds waves and texture like all salt sprays. However, my hair falls flat by the end of the day and gets a little frizzy which is pretty standard for all salt texture sprays. They look really good for a few hours then the waves fall flat and you get more frizz. It’s why I’ve started to go towards a more texture spray that’s salt free like Trophy Shine + Texture Spray. This one doesn’t dry my hair out bad like some pure salt sprays.

Trophy Shine + Texture Spray is an amazing texture spray. It’s got a hint of shine with volume and waves that last all day. It’s salt free so none of that frizz. Most of these texture sprays have some kind of stickier residue, oil or polymer that helps hold the hair in place. Kind of like a liquid pomade in some aspects. They don’t dry down or go away so that’s why the hold and waves last. They can make your hair look sticky and dirty if you apply to much, so use sparingly in the front and use more on the mid level to ends than the roots. You still wants a bit in the roots to lift it and add texture. I love and use Trophy all the time. It’s become one of my go to texture sprays and a Hero Product. I love the ease of use of the aerosol can, just be careful as you can layer it on quick and overdo it. It gives me perfect messy bedhead waves that last all day. This is the one I recommend of the two.

Beauty Endeavor Tip These types of pure salt sprays are great to layer with a texture cream to help hold the waves longer, it also helps control some of that later day frizz. Oribe Matte Waves and VERB Sea Texture Cream are two good options for this. Apply them from mid level hair to the ends.

R+Co AIRCRAFT Pomade Mousse: Review

I’ve tested out a few things by R+Co. I love any kind of hair texturizing product and grabbed Aircraft Pomade Mousse a few months back. Details per R+Co:

A mousse with a split personality. Perfect for creating second-day texture and separation while retaining body. Great on wavy or curly hair.

Good for: Studiously messy styles on any kind or length of hair.

How To: Its mousse formulation makes Aircraft easier to apply than a pomade. Rub between your hands and work through the hair.

Fragrance: RELATIVE PARADISE – A bright, earthy composition. Sicilian Lemon, Tangerine, Eucalyptus, Green Tea, Tree Moss, Crisp Amber

Benefit Ingredients:

Vegetable Protein, this powerful hair-strengthening ingredient increases moisture content.
Neem Oil, sourced from Central America, this oil strengthens and maintains the hair’s moisture levels.
Papaya Extract, produced in Australia, this extract creates volume while adding body and shine. 

The texture is like a mousse, foamy and pretty average feeling for a mousse.  The first couple times I used this I used too much and it made my hair too sticky for my tastes. I learned to start with a small dollop rubbed through my whole head, then concentrate a little extra at the ends and in the front. This works a lot better so my advice is start with just a little, then add more where you need more.

It does have a citrus earthy scent which I like. What I love about this, once used properly, it does what it says and gives second day texture with body and shine. It doesn’t dry my hair out as much as salt sprays. It gives more texture than regular mousse, but is less dry than a sea salt spray. If you like texture products and want body, separation without the dryness you might like this one.
