Our goal is to help you find the perfect styling product for you and your specific hairstyle and hair needs - if you try the Volcanic Clay and you're not completely satisfied, just email us and we can either swap for a product that's a better fit, or send you a refund.
Our Volcanic Clay is a water-based, matte finish hair clay that adds volume and all day hold*, yet is easy to wash out and good for your hair and scalp. Ideal for those who want texture while maintaining a natural finish, the bentonite clay binds hair follicles together to add more volume while also providing hold for styling purposes.
*Important note: if you have very thick hair, and/or you are looking for a very strong hold in order to achieve a locked-in look, you'll want to check out our Sun Wax Pomade, which is our strongest hold hair styling product. If you're looking for a lighter hold for an even more natural look, you'll want to consider our Coastal Creme Pomade, which has our lightest hold.
Still undecided? Read our blog post, how to choose the right hair product, or email us direct at info@churchcalifornia.com with questions.
The Volcanic Clay Pomade was tested by barbers and trialed by customers for over a year at Church Barber prior to launch. We made over 50 iterations before settling on the final product, each one an improvement over the previous, until we knew it was perfect.
Our foremost mission is to create natural styling products that are high performance and work better than more conventional, lab-made products. We want to make it a no-brainer for you to toss out chemical based hair and grooming products and embrace our natural alternatives, without sacrificing the results you want. If you’re not satisfied with your products, we will happily refund you, less the cost of shipping.
"They call it the holy grail of clay pomades, and I agree... my go-to since I discovered it last year. The moment you work it in, your hair takes on a lived-in, naturally separated look and a mattifying texture." - Best Overall Hair Clay, Inside Hook
"Extremely versatile: it can be applied wet or dry for different finishes and tactility. The best dry styler for volume." - GQ
"This high-hold, matte clay is made in small batches... you can feel good about putting it in your hair" - Men's Health

awesome pomade. smells great as-well. I’ve had been using a different water based pomade but this one’s better. it doesn’t lose its hold in the heat and keeps your hair looking nice. Definitely worth the price. all natural ingredients and my hair loves it.

Good quality. Smells great too.
The product is made from great ingredients but it doesn’t provide the level of hold I expect from a clay pomade and the smell of this one just isn’t for me.
If you’re looking for a lighter hold and like spicy minty scents this might be a good fit for you.
My favorite pomade I’ve found in a while. One of the few that holds well, isn’t oily, and washes out easily.
