Is Sun Wax Pomade right for you?

Our Sun Wax Pomade is our strongest hold product, a hybrid formula of plant waxes and unrefined bentonite clay, created for those who wish to tame thicker hair, or for people of all hair types looking to lock in a stylized look. What makes our wax unique is that it's water-based, so it performs wonderfully and washes out easily, and it's also made with 100% botanical ingredients, which means it's good for your hair and scalp. Each jar of Sun Wax is hand made and hand poured into biophotonic glass, a thick ultraviolet glass which protects the 100% plant ingredients from harmful light rays.

If you're looking for a lighter hold product for a more natural look, you'll want to try either our Volcanic Clay Pomade (less hold, more volume), or our Coastal Creme Pomade (least hold, natural look).

35 Active Ingredients

Our Sun Wax Pomade rebuilds, nourishes, and styles hair - unlike most petroleum-based hair pomades that dry out and destroy hair and scalp, our water based, activated hair wax utilizes a potent emulsion of sculpting vegan waxes, protectant fatty plant butters, and protein rich botanical extracts. In lieu of lab made preservatives, our raw hair waxes are bottled in biophotonic glass jars to preserve ingredient integrity and potency. All ingredients are organic and wildcrafted, and so you may notice color variation from one bottle to the next as the ingredients change through the seasons.

How To Use Sun Wax Pomade

Scoop a dime sized amount of Wax into the palm of your hand, then use two fingers to rub the wax in a circular motion, emulsifying the wax and spreading to your fingertips, prior to applying to your hair. This is a simple, but crucial step, as you need to warm the wax in order properly spread it throughout your hair.

Barber Tested

Not getting the higher level of hold they needed from our Volcanic Clay Pomade, many of our customers with thicker, more coarse hair, expressed a need for a product that could really lock their hair in place. After two solid years of sampling and trialing, getting feedback from barbers and customers at Church Barber, we finally perfected the Sun Wax. Two Grooming Award wins later - from Robb Report and GQ in 2021 - we’re happy to say the Sun Wax is a much beloved product that’s unlike anything else on the market.

Hair wax is a strong hold styling product that dually soothes and controls unruly hair, while providing structured styling and hold. Our hybrid formula of plant waxes and unrefined bentonite clay, naturally binds hair follicles together to add volume while bolstering hair for traditional styling and shape while locking in all-day hold. Our chemical-free, water-based formula also nourishes and repairs hair, sealing in moisture and protecting hair and scalp against environmental stress and UV damage. Fatty plant oils and herbal infusions add luster and shine to hair, fortifying its follicular structure and renewing it from the roots. People with thick, straight, and hard-to-tame hair will specifically notice the benefits of adding a wax to their styling process. We recommend using a dime-sized amount of wax and working it into the hair with your fingertips for natural styling or wet combing it into hair for a more polished look.

And it works on BLACK FOLKS HAIR!!!

I honestly didn't expect this product to do much for black hair, but it TOTALLY WORKS!!! It also has a nice scent thats not overbearing, and the natural ingredients is definitely a plus. I've also tried the other 3 pomades, but this is one definitely my fave. Thank y'all! Keep up the good work Church! Peace.

The Best Organic Strong-Hold Pomade

I started researching the damage that pomades containing chemicals do to your hair and scalp over time. It was startling. So I wanted to focus my next hair-styling pomade purchase that is organic. That's when I found Church California. I was happy immediately because the product is water-based and made in the USA. Next, the ingredients are wild-crafted and organic. Sun Wax was a win before I even tried the product. So after using the product, I can tell you that Sun Wax water-based pomade has an excellent natural shine finish and hold that lasts all day without any greasiness. Great smelling pomade too! The best part is that it is water soluble and washes out easily with water without leaving any residue on your hair or towels.

Simply the best natural wild-crafted strong-hold styling aide water-soluble, organic, and wild-crafted pomade that works perfectly. Kudos Church!

The hair product I've been looking for for YEARS!

This stuff is outstanding. I've tried countless products over the years to try and find the right one for my hair type and what style I'm going for. I've gotten close, but never quite found exactly what I was looking for. Hanz de Fuko's Claymation and Two-Ton Cream came pretty close, but neither were quite right. I tried Church's Volcanic Clay pomade, and while it was nice, it didn't quite have the hold I needed. My hair is dense but very fine and tends to want to do its own thing unless it's got some strong product in it, but I hate the feeling of having crunchy, helmet hair from using gels or hairsprays.

Then I came back to Church's website to see if they had anything similar to the Volcanic Clay pomade, but with a stronger hold. That's when I saw this stuff. It is BY FAR the best styling product I have ever used, and I've been consistently styling my hair for going on 12 or so years now. Not only does it smell great, but a little bit goes a very long way, and it's incredibly easy to shape your hair how you want before it dries. Once it does cure out, it retains flexibility and softness, but maintains the shape you originally set it in for hours on end. It lasts me full workdays and even makes it through my workouts without going flat.

If I could by a giant tub of this stuff, I would do it in a heartbeat. It's so refreshing and relieving to have finally found a product that works for me. I'll be keeping this stuff stocked up for as long as I possibly can.

The Search is Over!

I've used a few different pomades over the years, but none have hit all the marks quite like this one. Solid, but reworkable, hold. Appealingly moderate shine. Doesn't make me break out, which is huge, because my skin is wildly sensitive. And just a dab will do you, so one tin should last a while!
