With the woes of heat and humidity, styling hair in the summer is no easy feat. R+Co is here to change that with the best styling products for medium to coarse hair, including the newest addition to its Sun Catcher line, the Power C Styling Butter. Much like the rest of the Sun Catcher collection, the versatile styling product is formulated with vitamin C to hydrate, soften, and protect strands from heat damage and UV rays, making it a standout not just for hair styling but also for hair health in the summertime.  

R+Co Sun Catcher Power C Styling Butter

Size: 3.2 oz.
Key Ingredients: Shea butter, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, vegetable protein 
Hair Types: Medium to coarse hair types 
Heat Protection: 450°F

Formulated by Ashley Streicher, a celebrity hairstylist and member of the R+Co Collective, the new Sun Catcher Power C Styling Butter features key ingredients such as shea butter, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and vegetable protein to provide the best hair days, whether you’re heat styling or air-drying. It’s intended to provide a flexible hold that manages frizz and can even reduce breakage by up to 74%. Additionally, it’s a fantastic heat protectant—both from hot air and heat styling—that shields strands from temperatures up to 450°F. 

The buttery texture comes from its inclusion of shea butter, which soaks strands with hydration to create a smoother-looking finish without weighing them down, while the added hyaluronic acid traps moisture and targets frizz. And, of course, like the other products in the Sun Catcher lineup, the dose of vitamin C is intended to protect hair from the heat, sun, and pollution it’s easily exposed to in the summertime. Upping the ante with vegetable protein also improves pliability, so hair is less prone to breakage with continued use. 

Incorporating it into your summer haircare routine is super simple, too. Simply apply a small amount to damp or wet hair and then either heat style as usual or let your hair air dry—that’s it! 

What StyleCaster Editors Say About the R+Co Styling Butter

“I’d been looking for ages for a styling product I could quickly put into my hair in the morning to give me a little texture before I headed out the door, and this is exactly that. This styling butter is everything I want in a men’s hair styling product. It gives my hair enough texture for that lived-in, just-got-out-of-bed look without making it feel sticky, tacky, or crunchy. The product’s ingredients, like hyaluronic acid and shea butter, also help my hair feel nourished and hydrated, leaving it soft enough for me to run my hands through it, versus having the urge to immediately wash it out once I put it on, as I’ve felt with other hair products.”— Jason Pham, Managing Editor
