Customer Reviews:
Great hold and shine
I love how this pomade gives my hair a strong hold and a nice shine. It keeps my hair in place all day without making it look greasy. Highly recommend!
Too sticky and hard to wash out
This pomade is extremely sticky and difficult to wash out of my hair. It leaves a residue that makes my hair feel heavy and dirty. Not a fan of the texture and the hassle it takes to remove it.
Natural-looking finish
The Imperial Barber Grade Gel Pomade gives my hair a natural-looking finish. It doesn't make my hair look stiff or unnatural like other pomades I've tried. It also has a pleasant scent that lasts throughout the day.
Decent hold, but lacks shine
This pomade provides a decent hold for my hair, but I was hoping for a bit more shine. It gives a more matte finish, which may be great for some people, but I prefer a little extra shine. Overall, it gets the job done.
Leaves residue on hands
Whenever I use this pomade, it leaves a sticky residue on my hands that is difficult to remove. It feels unpleasant and makes me hesitant to touch my hair throughout the day. Not a fan of the residue it leaves behind.
Mixed results depending on hair type
This pomade may work well for some people, but for my hair type, it didn't provide the desired hold. It works better for shorter hair, but for longer hair, it tends to lose its effectiveness throughout the day. It's worth trying, but results may vary.
