Sun Bum Sonny's Original Surf Paste & Curls & Waves Styling Cream | Vegan and Cruelty Free Moisturizing Hair Treatment for Wavy and Curly Hair | 5 oz

I really like the beachy smell of this product and it has a good hold on my hair. A little greasier than matte clay type products but works well for my hair.

My teenager loves this stuff and the smell is divine. My teenager likes the hold the the paste provides, as it is a “soft hold” so his hair texture isn’t sticky or stiff, but more natural. Did I mention it smells amazing???

I have accumulated most of the Sun Bum products, I bought this one most recently, it really helps when I put my hair up in a messy bun and put some of this in my hands and rub my hands together to spread on the sides of my head and lower back, helps keep the fly aways at bay and smelling wonderful as always. I love you Sun Bum 😍

The fact this was allowed to go out lookin like this is mind blowing

Bought this for my son's hair and it works great! Smells really good and leaves his hair looking good and not shiny like other products.

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.

My boys have very different types of hair, but I can use this Sun Bum Surf Paste on both of them and it works great! The smell is light and pleasant, it works for both thin/flimsy and thick/stubborn hair, and you don't need to use all that much. It's a fantastic product!!

I’m back with a pomade review of sun bum surf paste, which is apparently Publix’s favorite sunscreen company because they promote it everywhere. This is their relatively new foray into hair pomade, which has been largely hit-or-miss. Ironically this is neither a true paste nor a medium-hold pomade, but it can work great as a low-hold texturizer if you know what you are getting into.Scent: This is everything you think of when you think of “the beach.” Reminds me of Daytona Supply Co’s “coastal break” hilo pomade scent. Kind of a mix between surf wax, coconut, and a tropical sunscreen-y scent. I am a big fan of beach scents, so this was the selling point for me. One of my favorite scents. 5/5Texture: This is where this “matte” pomade sadly falls flat. The texture is very heavy and oily. It will leave white residue on your hands. Fortunately, when it’s in your hair is doesn’t look oily, but the texture is far from a matte finish imho. 1/5Hair Hold: This is classified as a medium hold pomade. It won’t hold up if you’re going for high hold hair styles, but it will give you texture. I would call it more of a matte texturizer/separator than a true medium hold pomade. If you are using it as a texturizer, it works great. Maybe call it a “low hold.” 2/5Wash out: This is a water-based pomade, and as a result, the wash out is much superior to oil-based pomade No surprises here – it washes out well like it’s supposed to. 5/5Overall: 3/5. It’s not a bad pomade, but I have to be honest, I expected a bit more for the price. The scent is awesome, the texture is mediocre, and it gives a low hold. As a result, this would work GREAT for a matte texturizer but falls short of being a good medium-hold pomade. If the price was around $2 less, it would be an option I would consider. However, for the price, there are a wide variety of better options out there.

I bought this because of a few recommendations from TikTok and honestly I wasn’t sure how it would go. But honestly it was perfect, it worked far better then expected. My hair was still soft and moveable but only in a way to move it to the placement I wanted. My hair didn’t end up too hard or fall down because the product wasn’t strong enough. It truly gave me the structure I wanted for my hair without compromising the feel of my hair

Very happy with this, does what is says and smells great. Not too hard to wash out either.

Bought this for my son who has thick hair...he loves the smell and texture and it's not oily. It holds his hair without feeling too heavy or greasy.
