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

Imperial Barber Grade Blacktop Pomade is a water-based, black-tinted styling wax that delivers the strongest hold with low shine for precise, long-lasting looks.

This 6 oz tub was designed for barbers and at-home stylists who need a dependable product that sculpts tight styles, stays put, and still allows reworking with water. Formulated to rinse clean and reactivate with moisture, Blacktop provides control for everything from slicked-back looks to textured pomps without heavy buildup.

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

The pomade provides the maximum hold in Imperial's line while keeping a subdued, low-sheen finish that avoids a greasy appearance. It locks hair in place for structured styles but doesn’t create a glassy shine.

• Strongest available hold for tight, gravity-defying shapes
• Low shine keeps styles natural under lights
• Works on short to medium lengths for firm sculpting

Will it wash out easily and can I restyle during the day?

Blacktop is water-based, so it dissolves cleanly with shampoo and water and won’t leave heavy residue. Because it is water-reactivable, you can refresh or reshape your style by adding a little water and working the product through your hair.

• Rinses clean with a normal wash—no oily build-up
• Reactivates when damp for quick mid-day adjustments
• Ideal for repeating styling without layering excess product

What types of hairstyles and hair textures is it best for?

This pomade excels on styles that require structure and definition—slick-backs, pompadours, side parts, and sculpted quiffs are all good candidates. It suits most hair textures, from fine to coarse, but shines brightest on hair that benefits from firm hold rather than softness.

• Great for sculpted, defined looks that need long-lasting hold
• Performs well on fine, straight, wavy, and thicker hair types
• Black tint helps enhance darker tones and adds depth to styles

Is this pomade formulated with practical ingredients and where is it made?

Built for utility, the formula is water-based for easy clean-up and daily usability while including a black tint for added visual depth. The product is manufactured in the United States and follows Imperial Barber Grade Products’ focus on barber-inspired grooming essentials.

• Water-based formula for convenience and washability
• Black tint gives subtle color enhancement to darker hair
• Produced in the USA under a barber-grade approach

Who is this for: Imperial Barber Grade Blacktop Pomade is aimed at anyone wanting a professional-strength, low-shine pomade—barbers, stylists, and individuals who prefer precision control and easy restyling. If you need a product that sculpts firm looks, rinses clean, and can be reworked with water, this 6 oz tub is a practical choice for daily use and detailed styling routines.
