What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Usage

Best applied to towel-dry, damp hair. First emulsifying the product into your palms and spread to your fingers, then apply evenly to head and hair. Style with your hands for a natural look or comb through for a more stylized look.

Pro-tip

Ideal for fine, naturally oily hair, the clay counter-acts the oil and leaves a matte, dry finish, while thickening hair by adding volume.

Reviews

Nice light hold

"Purchased this for my husband after hating the scent of the pomade he had found himself lol. It works REALLY well for him when his hair is newly cut, it’s the perfect amount of hold and style. Though as his thick hair grows out, he reaches for something with a bit more hold. So definitely a more natural hold well suited for not super thick hair."

— Kelsey K. (4/5)

Great!

"Bought for my husband. He has a sensitive scalp and most salon brands are irritating for his scalp and crease build up. This smells amazing and leaves his skin happy and hair looking amazing. Love that it’s in glass, too!"

— A C. (5/5)

Handsome and smells amazing

"I got this for my boyfriend because I love the packaging. His hair has never looked better."

— Isa (5/5)

Great Stuff

"My husband likes using this. Not too greasy and smell is subtle."

— Paige J. (4/5)

Best Product I Have Found

"I've tried a ton of different hair products. I havent found one that I loved until I tried Church California. I never leave reviews but felt compelled to. Its light so doesnt weight my hair down and it holds well with no shine which is exactly what I have been looking for. I could never find the perfect combination until now."

— Tyler G. (5/5)

Best hair styling product I've tried

"Great smell, lasts all day, washes out easily and does not make my hair greasy. Definitely a great product:) Matte finish and strong hold, but in a matt/textured way/messy way."

— California B. (5/5)

Not strong hold

"I love the texture and the fact that this pomade is easy to distribute across my hair. The scent is lovely, too. But it only offers a light hold on my fine hair. I’m so bummed!"

— Andi M. (3/5)

Incredible product!

"I’ve been searching for a hair product that wouldn’t negatively affect my seb derm for quite a while, and I’ve finally found it! Excellent quality, the best packaging, and most importantly, no more flakes and hair loss. I couldn’t be happier!"

— Steven O. (5/5)

Bought my fiance

"Been on the hunt for a clean pomade and so happy to have found this one! Didn't like the smell and ingredients of the one he was using"

— Mimi M. (5/5)

Best Clay Product Out There

"Very glad I came across this clay pomade! Easily the best hair product I have ever used - searched tirelessly for a clay that didn’t smell, clump, or leave hair greasy. This stuff is legit - don’t overthink it, just see for yourself!"

— Chad (5/5)
