Classic Pomade, 2 oz | TSA Approved | Travel Sized | Strong Hold | Low Shine | Water-Based | Easy to Wash Out | For Tight Holds and Styles

I started using pomades with a new haircut a couple years ago, and I started with the cheapest stuff I could get at Walmart--Axe brand. I'm not proud of that decision, but I don't deny it. More recently I discovered that Old Spice makes a pomade, and I started using it. There were pros and cons to both, but neither holds a candle to this stuff. Axe was nice because it was thoroughly water-based and could easily be "revived" in the bathroom with a dab of water on the go, but it rarely held through the day without having to be revived. The biggest concern I had with Axe, other than perpetuating a brand whose advertisements morally offend me, is that the clearish blue pomade appeared to have flecks of glitter in it. Now I never saw glitter in my hair using it, but it they were definitely in the container, and that's a problem. Old Spice is a very different sort of product. It is white and has a better hold, but it can't be revived. It will also leave white streaks if your not careful to work it in well, and worse than that, I always have to shampoo my hair twice (no matter how much shampoo I use) to get it all out in the shower. I appreciate the Old Spice brand, and I like it better than Axe, but I remained unsatisfied. Enter Imperial Barber Products Classic Pomade. It is clear and surprisingly thick. The jar says it can be applied to dry hair, but that seems like it would be a rather unpleasant experience. I use this right after I get out of the shower, with my hair still pretty damp, and it goes on like a charm. You only need a small amount, and I think that will end up saving me money over the long run against the cheap pomades that require more product for the same hold (including the aforementioned Axe and Old Spice). This stuff has a strong hold that lasts all day and takes a lot of punishment. And even if you do find your hair loosing the sharp look at 3:00pm, dabbing it with just a little water and reshaping it is simple and works like a charm. This stuff revives very well, and it is also water-based and really easy to wash out. No more double shampoo. And as an added bonus, it's cool, and retro, and made in the USA. We have a winner.

First of all, if you are used to drugstore hair products and you want to try something new that provides a strong hold, a light shine and a great fragrance, then look no further. Imperial Classic Pomade is not only all of things, but it washes out super easy and hasn't left any buildup on my scalp. The fragrance is very subtle but pleasant and leans towards a sweeter, almost melon-y smell. Fans of vanilla, bourbon and sandalwood fragranced pomade will not appreciate this, but again, it's so subtle and the only person who gets close enough to me to smell my hair on a regular basis loves the smell, so much so that she has started using it as a finishing product or when she needs to tame unrulies. Another benefit for me is that it is water-based and not petroleum wax, or "clay". -Less stress on the follicles means better hair health over time. I've used many of Imperial's products and although I've been satisfied with all of them, this is the hair product that hasn't left my grooming kit since I started using it more than 10 years ago.

This stuff is absolutely the best pomade out there. I have quite a thick mane of straight hair, and this tames it like none other. Sure, this is a bit pricey, but I was paying $16 for 3 oz. of American Crew Fiber, and this knocks that out of the park. I have been using this for about four months now, and the can is not quite half-empty. I usually apply this with damp to dry hair and get great results. It doesn't take away volume, which is an issue with straight-haired guys, and it restyles quickly with a little water and a comb. The watermelon scent, while not the manliest, isn't overpowering and just makes your hair smell fresh. It's also easy to apply a small amount right before a date to reinforce the hold for the rest of the night. This stuff hold really well, too. I usually only use it to get a nice, sharp part and to hold the front in place. For the rest of the hair, I just use a general push through with my fingers. Imperial doesn't gunk up the combs I use like the old American Crew, either. It is very easily washed out and cleaned up due to it's water-based chemistry. For the price, this stuff is a great buy. Made in L.A., holds tighter than hell, smells good, washes out easily, easy clean-up from hands--you just can't beat this stuff.

This stuff claims to be the strongest hold pomade with a matte finish. I don't know about that. The Firme Hold Suavecito has a better hold. I've come to the realization that any pomade has at least a little sheen to it. This stuff doesn't leave your hair feeling too crunchy. It washes out very well and has a light cucumber melon scent to it that my wife really likes. Applies very well. If it's falling during the day, just run a wet comb through it and holds even firmer than before. If you go outside and your head naturally heats up, the product goes flat quick. If you sweat at all, it basically looses all hold as if there's nothing in your hair. That's why I didn't give it 5 stars. I like the Suavecito better. Good product, used the whole can, but won't buy it again.

Bastante satisfecho

When used sparingly it it has a good re-workable hold when a dash of water is applied. When used in larger amounts it has a kind of gel type effect and hold. It's easy to wash out and is good quality and value for money. I do prefer oil based pomades as I constantly re-work my hair throughout the day, however for when I need a set style this stuff is good. If your style needs a strong firm hold this is what you need.

Meine Haare machen normalerweise was sie wollen. Selbst wenn sie schon sehr gut durch den Schnitt in Form gebracht worden sind. Normalerweise rühre ich Betonzement an um das zu bändigen und breche mir dann beim durchfahren fast die Finger. Imperial Pomade hat mich von diesem Problem erlöst. Es reichen 2 Fingerspitzen voll vom Produkt, verreiben und dabei erwärmen und ins noch feuchte Haar einarbeiten. Sitzt bombe und dennoch bleibt das Haar weich. Nachstylen und Nachformen ist jederzeit mit etwas Wasser möglich, ohne dass man neu vom Produkt nehmen muss.

Lo compran los chavos de años excelente producto 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This is one of the best pomade out there right now. Imperial Barber has done a great job with the strength, appearance, and smell with this pomade, which are the 3 key things I’d look out for when I buy pomade or gel. First, this has to be one of the strongest pomade made. It will hold your hair no matter how you want to shape it. With this, you will never have a bad hair day again, because your pomade or gel can’t over come the restoration force of your hair. This pomade is also invisible to the naked eye once it dries out, which keeps your hair looking natural, exactly what a pomade should do. If you want your hair to look shiny, you should take a look at hair wax instead. This pomade has a very nice smell to it. It smells a lot like fresh apples, but only has a faint scent, which gives a subconscious feel of nice looking hair, without any obvious sign that you applied any hair product. Lastly, this pomade is water soluble, so it is very easy to wash. You don’t need to wash it with shampoo or anything else, just water. It’s great to be able to remove the pomade at night before you go to bed without needing shampoo to wash it, because using shampoo everyday is not good for your hair. Overall, I would highly recommend this pomade if you are looking for something that has high strength, that looks natural on your hair, and that gives off a subtle but nice smell.
