Sun Bum Sonny's Original Surf Paste - Matte Finish Hair Styling Paste - Medium Hold - 3 oz

This stuff is really great. You get a huge amount for the cost so it's really great value. But more importantly it works so well. I've used dozens and dozens of clays, waxes and other stying products. For this one I use a tiny bit more than "high hold" clays but vigorously rub together in my hands to really warm it up before applying. Other reviews have said they get a "greasy" look but I don't at all, just a nice healthy shine and great hold. I think in the past I assumed I needed high hold products but I really don't as this will do the job perfectly. I style my hair in a combo quiff and side swept and a bit messy on top. And this gives me a great result EVERY TIME. Some days I have to go the gym in the morning without showering and I can wet my hair and restyle it and sometimes that looks even better. Oh the smell is also amazing.Edit: The Sun Bum Sea Spray is also awesome and has some hold as well -- sometimes after shaping my hair with the surf paste I give it a few sprays of the Sea Spray on top and the bangs and use my fingers to finish it off. It will add a bit more hold as the paste is a more of a medium hold on its own. I love the combo when my hair is longer, or either one when it is shorter and just cut.

Great product! Leaves hair smooth unlike a spray I was using before. Smells good, holds pretty well. Non greasy. Save $ & get this one over fancier brands

First of all, I would like to say hallelujah thank you baby jesus that my favorite sunscreen maker company also makes hair product. I found this by accident after so many trials and disappointments with expensive products. My expectations were high, and I was NOT disappointed upon first use. Where to start? VALUE? CHECK. It's a super great alternative to most of the expensive and fragrance laden products out there, given the volume of product for the price. It is salon quality, unlike anything in comparable price range I have ever used. IS IT EASY TO USE? Errm, YES! It is easy to stick my finger in it and then apply to my hair. If your hair product requires a more complex procedure, this product is a highly recommended alternative for simplicity. THE SCENT? OMMFG. It's like a cucumber and a sea urchin had a passionate umbrella drink fueled one night stand in a run down cabana on the beach during a tropical thunderstorm that resulted in a lovechild who is actually a little baby surfboard that they named Benihana. Just close your eyes, take a deep whiff, breathe in that beachy, fresh scent and proclaim "TAKE ME BAAAACK" like every basic white chick you follow on instagram. I have never spent a better $16. This product will matte your hair, it leaves no sheen so you don't look like a 4th grade douchebucket, the hold is almost non-existent except for the 'weight' it adds to your hair, which will give it some texture and the product does work-in like a molding paste. It does not harden or leave hair stiff by any means. I typically need to use what I assume is a little more product than prescribed as I have thick, straight, obnoxiously absorbent hair. Rub any product into my hair and it almost immediately disappears. I always have to use about twice as much as the recommended amount. This product is no different, save for the lack of any buildup that may normally result. It reminds me of the texture I get from swimming in the ocean, as stated in more than one of the other reviews. It's like the ocean applied the product for you, then told you how handsome you are, gave you a slap on the ass, and said "no worries about your hair today, I got this". I may experiment with using a little more product to see if I get a little more texture, as that is a completely normal challenge for me with any product. It usually takes a little experimentation to find that perfect dollop. Is this a 'one finger dollop' product? Yes, luckily. I am just not sure if it is more like a 'finger tip' dollop, or a 'GOB' dollop, but either way, and just like your mom, one finger and a little finesse will do the trick. Smear it on your hands, rub it into your hair, then 'tussle' a bit to recreate that 'early-morning, just woke up and sneaked out on my one night stand' appearance we all strive for. Stay sleezy, my friends. Sun Bum Surf Paste will ensure that you maintain that debonair, yet relaxed and confident beefcake persona that is envied by so many, and duplicated by so few.

Really like how this makes my hair look, but it sometimes is a little too piecey for what I'm trying to do, but overall the smell is good and I like the look.

This is the absolute perfect hair product if you have medium length hair and are looking for something non-greasy with medium hold. I have tried probably 10 to 15 different pomades, clays, pastes, and fiber creams and this one beats them all by far. Not to mention, it smells amazing!I will absolutely be using this until they stop making it (which I hope never happens).

Great for added texture to keeps waves or curls in place. Light scent that lasts all day. Great product. Not sticky after applied.

I've been using this for several years. The scent gives me memories of my childhood...very beachy! The hold is perfect for my short pixie hair. It's tames my hair, and gives it definition, without being too sticky.
