Imperial Barber Grade Products Matte Pomade Paste — 2 oz Travel Size, Light-to-Medium Matte Hold & Water-Based

Imperial Barber Grade Matte Pomade Paste (2 oz) is a water-based styling paste that delivers a light-to-medium, natural matte hold without weighing hair down.

This compact travel-size paste is made to shape both tousled and polished looks while remaining easy to restyle and rinse out. Formulated with naturally derived ingredients and green tea extract, the paste aims to add body, moisture retention, and daily protection from environmental stressors. Because it reactivates with water, adjustments through the day are simple — just dampen and reshape. The 2 oz jar gives you on-the-go convenience with the same formulation available in a larger 5 oz container.

How will this product affect my hair’s appearance and texture?

The paste provides a matte, low-shine finish that makes hair look fuller and more natural rather than glossy or greasy. Its light-to-medium hold keeps styles in place while allowing movement and a slightly lived-in aesthetic. Ingredients that help thicken and retain moisture contribute to a fuller-looking texture over time.

• Matte finish for a natural look without shine.
• Light-to-medium hold preserves movement and pliability.
• Formulation supports volume and thicker-feeling hair.
• Water-based base rinses clean without buildup.

What styling routines benefit most from this pomade?

This paste works well for breezy, messy styles, textured crops, and tidy business cuts that need subtle control. It’s versatile enough for short to medium lengths and is especially useful when you want separation and definition without a stiff finish. Reactivating with water makes it ideal for midday touch-ups or changing your look across the day.

• Tousled, bedhead, and texturized looks.
• Refined office styles requiring a natural finish.
• Quick restyles by adding a little water and reshaping.
• Suitable for short-to-medium hair lengths and layered cuts.

How do I apply and remove the Matte Pomade Paste?

Scoop a small amount, warm it between your palms, and distribute through damp or dry hair beginning at the roots for control and working outward for texture. Start light — you can always add a bit more for stronger hold or definition. Removal is simple: since the paste is water-based, it rinses out cleanly with a regular shampoo or even warm water alone.

• Apply sparingly and build hold as needed.
• Works on damp hair for sleeker control or dry hair for texture.
• Re-style with water to reactivate the product.
• Easy washout thanks to the water-based formula.

Which ingredients support hair health and protection?

The formula includes naturally derived components designed to strengthen strands, lock in moisture, and boost volume without heavy oils or silicones. Green tea extract is included to help defend hair against environmental aggressors while supporting overall scalp and hair condition. The blend aims to enhance manageability alongside style performance.

• Natural actives help fortify and hydrate hair fibers.
• Green tea extract provides antioxidant support.
• Non-greasy, water-based base avoids residue buildup.
• Lightweight composition keeps hair from feeling weighed down.

Who is this for? If you want a dependable styling paste that creates natural, no-shine looks with flexible hold — and you value easy washout and mid-day restyling — the Imperial Barber Grade Matte Pomade Paste 2 oz is designed for you. It fits travelers, professionals, and anyone who prefers a matte aesthetic without sacrificing texture or hair health. Choose the 2 oz jar for portability or the 5 oz for regular at-home use.
