R+Co's new reparative line will have your guests in hair heaven.

R+Co has rolled out its new reparative collection, On a Cloud, based on the idea of rest and restoration – like sleeping on a cloud, a dreamy rehab for the hair. The Shampoo, Masque and Splash-On Styler all are formulated with Baobab oil-protein to help rebuild bonds, nourish and repair the hair.
"On a Cloud is a regiment that brings moisture, shine and a luxury to all hair types and textures," says Howard McLaren, Co-founder and Creative Director of R+Co. "The health and condition of the scalp and hair is so important to us, as an artist based brand. This collection was in response to our clients needs and our mission to deliver beyond and to have healthy scalp and combat how we treat our hair."
The collection includes:
This luxe oil-protein shampoo provides gentle cleansing for hair damaged by chemical processes, excessive heat-tool use, styling and environmental aggressors. The repairing formula helps re-bond the hair’s inner structure as it cleanses, infusing hair with moisture, essential oils and caring ingredients.
This protein-rich, creamy formula renews damaged hair fibers and brings nourishment, strength and elasticity to strands. Ultimate Baobab oil-protein technology helps to rebuild bonds for healthy hair fibers.
