Imperial Barber Grade Products | Gel Pomade, 12 oz

I’ve been using this pomade for about seven years, and I’ve never seriously considered switching to another brand. It has consistently delivered the same great results every time. It provides a strong hold with a natural matte finish that keeps my hair in place without looking greasy or overly styled. One of my favorite things about it is how easily it washes out at the end of the day. Unlike some pomades that leave buildup behind, this one rinses out with very little effort. The scent is another big plus. It’s clean and subtle without being overpowering. I’ve tried other pomades that smelled like an overpowering cologne, but this one has a much more pleasant fragrance. After using it for years, I can confidently say it’s one of the best pomades I’ve found. If you’re looking for a strong hold, matte finish, easy washout, and a clean scent, I highly recommend giving this one a try. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve been using Imperial Barber Gel Pomade for over 10 years, and nothing else compares. It works wonders on thinner hair, making it feel noticeably fuller while delivering the strongest hold I’ve ever experienced. To top it off, it has a fantastic, clean scent that isn't overpowering at all. Highly recommend! They also have other products with shine if that’s what you’re into

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 is an excellent gel replacement. Here's the pros and cons Pros: - Dries reasonably fast without looking "dry". It will last you all day and people would think that your hair is wet when it's not. It gives a great amount of sheen that lasts very long. Even though it should be washed out and reapplied any time you style for the best results. -A little bit goes a long way. Its very sticky when it starts to dry which is both a good and a bad thing. Bad because that means it will probably cause your hair to frizz more if you're trying to curl it, good because you won't have to use a lot of the product to get the hair to hold. -Smells really good! It has a slightly faint watermelon smell that isn't too manly or girly. Cons: -Too much used without washing out the old stuff WILL leave white residue in your hair and it captures leave in conditioned hair as well. I wanted to try conditioner as it fights back the amount of frizz, and then freezing the look to my hair with this pomade (which is essentially what it's supposed to do). It does an OK job of keeping the style after conditioning but if you don't wash it out the next day it will start to mix in and become opaque. Kind of sad since it's so great at keeping your hairstyle but I suppose that's just what happens when you use pomade. Just be sure to wash your hair well before using. -Doesn't lay hair down without being wasteful. I found that it seems to take a lot of product to achieve something a regular gel can with just a few dabs. Once again the reason why I recommend mixing this with a strong holding gel when using. Since things like "edge control" would probably cause it to cake on your hair and look worse something like gel would be your best bet. I'm going to bite the bullet and just stick to it (no puns intended) because it does hold gel very well and even blends well with gel. I would recommend mixing this with ECHO black gel if you are looking to maintain long lasting curls without looking making them look like curly cotton balls. I would give it a 4/5 stars. The pros still outweigh the cons in terms of how I style my hair and in terms of a pomade gel it's very versatile for what I need.

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.

Recommended by my stylist and I can’t live without it now.

After using this product for 4 months, I can say it does not hold with my hair. The scent is pleasant. It's low shine. It washes out extremely easily. It doesn't leave my hair oily. I've been using the same tub for 4 months and it's only half empty. BUT... It doesn't hold. No matter how little or much, no matter how damp or dry my hair is, the hold is terrible. No better than just water. I got a haircut a few weeks ago and they didn't do great in the back top center. Cut it a little too short (I part on the left). So it sticks up in back. No matter how much of this product I put on it, it will NOT stay put. I used Axe Conditioning Cream before and, honestly, it had better hold. But it's been hard to get lately. I'm also allergic to phenoxyethanol. So products available without it are limited. That's why I tried this one.

THE BEST hair product for men I've ever tried! I've tried so many products it's ridiculous, and this one from Imperial is by far the best I've used for a bunch of reasons. I've finely discovered how important it is to match the hair product to your hair type, not what you "want." So after doing a ton of research on hair types, what products work best for those hair types, and assessing my own hair, I settled on Imperial Classic Pomade and I couldn't be happier! I have very thick, fast growing, wavy hair that has a mind of it's own when it's medium or longer length. So if I want my hair to do what I want, it can't be longer then an inch or two. Not anymore! I want my hair to lay down straight and have a nice clean cut look with a little bit of length, and before this product, that was not possible. Now it is! I just put a little bit of leave in conditioner in my hair to keep it moisturized (which helps it stay down), then rub about a quarter sized dollop of the Imperial Pomade in my hands, and work the product in. I'm able to get that medium length, clean cut look, short on the side look, AND have my hair stay more or less straight, which was IMPOSSIBLE before using this product. I also LOVE how it looks in my hair. When it first goes in, it looks shiny and very slick, but within a short time, the shine fades to a more natural look, and is in between matte and low shine. If you put a ton in, you can keep it looking somewhat shiny, or if you put in less, it looks more matte. It also looks very very natural and like nothing is in your hair, which most products don't. It also smells great (light smell of watermelon), weighs next to nothing in your hair, washes out instantly with water, and can easily be restyled throughout the day by adding a tiny bit of water to your hair and reworking the style. It's without a doubt the greatest hair product for men out there I've ever tried! AND you get a huge 6oz container for only 19.95!!! That's outrageously inexpensive for such a great product compared to all the other rip off priced mens products out there that only have 1.5-3oz's for $25-$40. Can't say enough great things about this amazing product! You'd be hard pressed to find anything better then this, and the value is so good!

FACIL DE APLICAR NO MANCHA DEJA UN ACABADO UN POCO BRILLANTE SIN EXAGERAR Y EL AROMA Q TIENE EXCELENTE, LO VOY A VOLVER A PEDIR PERO ESTA VEZ PEDIRÉ LA Q TENGA MAS PRODUCTO POR Q PEDI LA DE 2 OZ PARA PROBAR

Harder helmet head than with actual gel looks like gel not or shouldn't be classified as a pomade at all also very hard to style with

Imperial Gel Pomade, steht auf der Dose, leider ist es keine Gelpomade, sondern nur Gel,.. Ja die Konsistenz ist wie gel, ich persönlich kann meine mittellangen dicken Haare nicht mit gel stylen. Ich style meine haare immer zu einer elvis tolle und dass geht am besten mit pomaden od. gelpomaden,. aber trotzdem ist es kein schlechtes produkt, ich glaube es würde sich gut für slickback frisuren oder kurze und dünne Haare eignen. Was mir gefallen hat ist die Großzügige Dose 340g mann kommt sehr lange damit aus, der Geruch ist auch sehr angenehm, sie riecht süsslich nach wassermelonen kaugummi und der halt ist auch stark, mann sollte die haare schnell stylen weil sie schnell hart wird,.. Ja hab mir kurze zeit danach die Imperial Classic Pomade bestellt und die ist um einiges besser, ist eine richtige Gelpomade.

Love the hold, holds great even after coming once hair is set. Each unit lasts a year for me.
