Imperial Barber Classic Pomade, 6 oz

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.

Great product . Smell is light and fresh. Has a great all day hold

I just recently bought this product because I’m always wanting to try new pomades. My hair is quite thick and coarse so I need something that has a nice, strong hold to it. With this product, I wasn’t disappointed. You’ll get that strong hold that it says that it has and it really will hold throughout the day! If you’re someone who has thicker hair this would be the product for you. I’ve used a couple pomades as well such as American Crew Fiber and Suavecito. Each one had its own positives and negatives to it though. American Crew Fiber does have that strong hold to it as well if you’re looking for it. It holds nice and applies easily. You just have to make sure that you really rub it through your hands so you don’t have some little streaks of it left over in your hair. It tends to lose its hold throughout the day though, but that may just be the case for me because of my hair. If you’re also looking something with a good scent and low shine, this would be the product for you. Suavecito is also another great product for thicker hair. It has a stronger hold than American Crew Fiber does and allows your hair to hold throughout the day. If you happen to ruin it somehow or it comes a little loose, just simply wet your hands or comb and run it through your hair to style it again. Unlike Fiber, this has a little bit of a shine to it, but it doesn’t make your hair look greasy. It’s a pretty light to medium shine. It also has a nice scent to it which is noticeable, but not too overbearing. Overall, this product is good, but not great. It does have a strong hold that it says it does and low shine, but can lose its volume if your head tends to heat up easily. If you sweat at all during the day, it also tends to fall flat and loses its hold. It’s a good product, but if you have thick, coarse, southern/southeast Asian hair, Suavecito would be your go to pomade.

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.
