Organic & wild-crafted ingredients, made entirely in Northern California

1.7 ounces, bottled by hand in premium, biophotonic glass

Aroma notes: vetiver, sandalwood, lemongrass

Best applied to damp, "towel dry" hair, or with a drop of water added to the product in your palm. Scoop a dime sized amount of Volcanic Clay, then use your fingers and palms to emulsify in a circular motion, while spreading to your fingertips. Spread evenly throughout your hair. Style with your hands for a natural look, or with a comb for a more stylized look.

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.

Is Volcanic Clay Pomade right for you?

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.

26 Active Ingredients

Church Volcanic Clay Pomade rebuilds, nourishes and styles hair - unlike most petroleum-based pomades that dry and destroy hair and scalp, our water-based, activated hair clay utilizes a potent emulsion of cleansing floral water, protectant fatty plant oils, and protein-rich botanical extracts. We hand select each plant ingredient and test each formulation for thousands of hours at our San Francisco barbershop prior to launch. Made in very small batches and bottled in biophotonic glass jars to preserve ingredient integrity and potency, you may notice small variations from one bottle to the next as ingredients change through the seasons.

Barber tested

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.

Good product

I have baby fine hair and at the end of the day this product can make it look fairly oily and dirty. Not sure it’s gonna work for me, but I will give it some more time.
