Imperial Barber Grade Products Blacktop Pomade 6 oz — Industrial-Strength, Low-Shine Water-Based Hold

Imperial Barber Grade Blacktop Pomade is a 6 oz water-based, industrial-strength pomade formulated for firm, long-lasting hold with a classic low-shine finish.

Designed for barbers and anyone who needs reliable control for structured styles, Blacktop delivers a heavy-duty hold without the greasy residue of oil-based formulas. This water-soluble pomade lets you shape, sculpt, and reset hair throughout the day while rinsing cleanly when you wash it out. It’s pitched as a top seller in professional shops because it balances toughness with manageability for short to medium-length hairstyles.

How strong is the hold and what finish does it leave?

The pomade offers an industrial-strength, barber-grade hold that resists wind and movement while keeping hair in place for hours. Its finish is low to medium in shine, giving styles definition without an overly glossy, oily look. That makes it suitable for classic, textured, and sculpted looks.

• Industrial-strength formulation for firm hold
• Low-to-medium shine for a natural, defined look
• Maintains structure without stiffness or crunch

Will Blacktop Pomade work for my hair type and usual styles?

Blacktop is versatile across many hair textures but performs best on straight to wavy hair and short to medium lengths where structured control is desired. It’s ideal for pompadours, slick-backs, side parts, and textured crops, providing enough grip to sculpt details while still allowing minor restyling throughout the day.

• Great for short-to-medium hair lengths
• Suitable for straight, wavy, and slightly coarse textures
• Works well for classic and modern structured looks

How easy is it to apply and remove?

Because it’s water-based, Blacktop spreads smoothly and blends into hair without flaking, then rinses out cleanly with water and regular shampoo. It warms slightly with friction in the palm for easier distribution and lets you shape hair before it sets fully, enabling controlled application and flexible finishing.

• Warms in hands for easier application
• Rinses out completely with water and shampoo
• No heavy residue or buildup when used as directed

What makes this a barber-grade product compared to consumer pomades?

Blacktop is formulated to meet the demands of professional styling: stronger hold, consistent performance, and resilience in different conditions. It’s been a salon and barbershop staple for years, chosen for its reliable behavior under repeated use and its ability to support precision cuts and finishes.

• Developed for professional styling and repeat use
• Consistent performance in humidity and movement
• Trusted in barbershops for more than a decade

Who is this for? Blacktop Pomade is aimed at barbers, stylists, and anyone who prefers a firm, durable hold with a controlled, low-shine finish. If you frequently style structured looks—pompadours, slick-backs, side parts, or textured crops—or you need a product that performs reliably in a professional setting, this 6 oz jar offers a balance of strong hold, easy application, and clean rinsing that fits into daily grooming routines.
