Blacktop Tinted Pomade – Gray-Blending Hold – 2 oz Travel Size

Imperial Barber Products was founded in 2009 by master barbers Scott Serrata and Pedro Zermeno at Razorbacks Barber Shop in Long Beach, California. They developed their own grooming products after finding that existing options required compromises in hold, shine, fragrance or washability. Their approach grew from hands-on use with customers, repeated testing and improvements informed by working barbers. The company continues to emphasize practical performance, American manufacturing and products that professionals can confidently recommend for use at home.

Blacktop Tinted Pomade – Gray-Blending Hold – 2 oz Travel Size

Blacktop Pomade combines water-based styling control with a temporary dark tint. It is intended to partially blend the appearance of gray or lighter hair while shaping the style. The maker recommends it especially for salt-and-pepper hair and lighter colors, where the darkening effect is more noticeable.

Package: 2 oz Travel Size. The two-ounce version is a separate size from the standard container. Choose the size shown in this listing; it is a single styling product rather than the multi-formula assortment.

What to Expect

• Product: Hair Styling
• Finish or function: Strong hold; high shine; temporary black tint
• Fragrance: Fragrance listed in formula
• Package: 2 oz Travel Size

Choosing This Product

Choose Blacktop for both styling and a visible darkening effect. It is a temporary tinted styling product rather than a promise of permanent color or complete gray coverage. If your hair is already dark and you do not want the tint, compare a clear styling formula instead. Take particular care around light fabrics and in wet conditions.

How to Use

Work the product into damp, towel-dried hair and shape it with a comb. The tint can transfer to light clothing or run with heavy perspiration or rain, so plan its use accordingly. Add a little water when restyling. The maker states that the temporary tint washes out in the shower.

Common Questions

Does it permanently color hair? This is a temporary tinted pomade that washes out. Can it stain fabric? The maker warns about possible transfer to light clothing, including when the product becomes wet from rain or sweat.

Use the ingredient list to compare formulas, then read the delivered label for the batch in your order. A shared brand name does not mean that different stylers, soaps and washes have identical ingredients. The FDA explanation of cosmetic ingredient names can help when reading the declaration.

Country of manufacture: United States. The maker identifies its hair and skin formulas as U.S.-made. This identifies manufacturing origin; it does not establish a U.S. source for every raw ingredient used in the formula. Check the delivered package for the product’s current labeling.
