Sun Bum Sonny's Surf Paste Matte Finish Hair Styling Paste — 3 oz, Medium Hold & UV-Infused Texture

Sun Bum Sonny's Original Surf Paste is a lightweight, medium-hold texturizing paste that delivers a soft, matte finish and UV-protective ingredients for everyday casual styling.

Designed for people who want effort-free, beach-ready hair, Sonny's Original Surf Paste blends sea-inspired botanicals with styling performance. The 3 oz tin packs Sea Salt, Sea Kelp, Hawaiian Black Lava and nourishing oils into a pliable paste that shapes and separates without stiffness or shine. It’s formulated to be vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free and suitable for daily use, whether you’re finishing a surf session or quickly styling damp hair before heading out.

How does Sonny's Surf Paste create texture without looking greasy?

The paste uses a matte-focused base and light waxes to add grit and separation, avoiding the wet sheen of gels. It gives hair body and piecey definition while remaining touchable and natural-looking.

• Sea Salt and Kokum Butter introduce tactile texture and subtle hold.
• Matte finish formula prevents shine for a relaxed, effortless appearance.
• Medium hold keeps style pliable so you can restyle throughout the day.

When and how should I apply this paste for best results?

For controlled texture, work a small amount through damp hair after towel-drying; distribute evenly from roots to tips with fingertips. Start with a pea-sized amount and build as needed to avoid heaviness; it also works on dry hair to refine shape or tame flyaways.

• Apply to damp hair for fuller body and lasting texture.
• Use on dry hair to refine pieces and reduce frizz.
• Pair with Sun Bum sea spray for added seaside volume and grit.

Does this paste protect hair from sun and environmental stress?

Sonny's Surf Paste contains botanicals that help support hair health after sun exposure but is not a medical sunscreen. Ingredients like Sea Kelp and Coconut Oil offer conditioning and help counteract dryness from sun, salt, and wind.

• Sea Kelp helps hydrate and nourish hair strands.
• Coconut Oil adds lightweight conditioning to reduce brittle texture.
• Formulated without parabens, gluten, or animal-derived ingredients.

How much hold and styling flexibility can I expect?

The product delivers a medium, reworkable hold that balances structure with movement. It’s ideal for short to medium lengths where you want separation and definition without a rigid feel.

• Medium hold that lets you reshape hair during the day.
• Soft, matte finish that keeps styles looking natural.
• Works well for tousled, swept, or textured short looks.

Who is this for: Sonny's Original Surf Paste is made for anyone who prefers a low-fuss grooming routine—surfers, commuters, students, and anyone with short to medium hair who wants textured, matte styles that stay touchable. If you like effortless, lived-in looks with hair-friendly ingredients and moderate control, this paste fits right into your daily kit.
