{"product_id":"imperial-fiber-pomade-size-options","title":"Imperial Fiber Pomade (Size Options)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe team behind Imperial Barber Products spent a combined 30 years working in barbershops across Los Angeles, London, and New York City before putting their name on a single product. That background shaped everything - the insistence on cosmetic-grade ingredients, the focus on genuine performance over marketing claims, and the decision to test every formula on real clients before releasing it. The result is a range that barbers actually reach for, not just stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHold\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium (6\/10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Shine (8\/10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase\u003c\/strong\u003e: Water-based (water-soluble)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScent\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clean and fresh \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e Best Fo\u003c\/strong\u003er: All hair types and lengths; textured, piecey, and bed-head styles; slickbacks; anyone who needs a product that resets easily throughout the day \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf Classic Pomade is Imperial's heavyweight, Fiber Pomade is its all-rounder. Where Classic locks styles in with maximum grip and minimal shine, Fiber flips the equation - medium hold, high shine, and a pliability that makes it one of the most versatile products in the lineup. The defining feature is the extra-long custom texture fibers, which are noticeably more exaggerated than the fibers found in a typical fiber grease. These give the hair genuine separation, thickness, and a pulled-apart texture that lighter creams and standard pomades can't replicate. VP\/VA Copolymer provides a flexible hold structure that keeps hair in place without stiffening, while Mica and Titanium Dioxide are responsible for the high, reflective shine that makes this the go-to for anyone chasing a polished, wet-look finish. Petrolatum contributes a conditioning smoothness to the formula that enhances the shine and adds slip during application. Applied to towel-dried damp hair it delivers that classic slicked-back high-shine look; applied to drier hair it leans more textured and piecey. Either way, a few drops of water is all it takes to reactivate and restyle from scratch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho's It For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiber Pomade works across all hair types and is one of the few products in the Imperial lineup that genuinely suits everyone from fine to thick, short to medium-long. It's particularly well suited to anyone who wants a high-shine finish with real texture and separation rather than a flat, slicked look. The exceptional reworkability makes it ideal for people who restyle throughout the day - commuters, anyone who wears a helmet, or anyone whose hair needs a reset between morning and evening. For maximum hold with less shine, Classic Pomade is the stronger option. For zero shine and a more natural look, the Matte Pomade Paste is the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium, pliable hold \u003c\/strong\u003e(6\/10) that keeps hair in shape without locking it rigidly - VP\/VA Copolymer builds a flexible polymer structure that holds while staying soft and reworkable all day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra-long custom texture fibers are more exaggerated than a standard fiber grease, creating genuine separation, piecey definition, and thickness that lighter products simply can't deliver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh shine\u003c\/strong\u003e (8\/10) finish is driven by Mica and Titanium Dioxide, which reflect light evenly across the hair for a polished, wet-look result that holds its gleam throughout the day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePetrolatum adds a smooth, conditioning quality to the formula, enhancing shine and providing slip during application without the heaviness of a traditional petroleum-based grease.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePEG-7 Hydrogenated Castor Oil helps distribute the formula evenly through the hair, ensuring a consistent finish from root to tip without clumping or uneven texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShine and hold are adjustable based on hair dampness - damp hair gives a higher shine and a slightly softer hold, while drier hair shifts toward more texture and definition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater-reactivatable formula resets with just a few drops of water, making it ideal for helmets, hats, or any situation where hair needs a mid-day restart without reapplying.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks across all hair types and lengths - one of the most universally applicable products in the Imperial range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully water-soluble and rinses out cleanly with no residue or buildup at the end of the day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegan-friendly and paraben-free.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot tested on animals - all Imperial products are tested on the team themselves and on barbershop clients to ensure real-world performance. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScoop out one knuckle's worth and work between your palms until evenly distributed. Apply to towel-dried damp hair for best results - start at the roots and work through to the ends, then style with a comb for a slicked-back look or use your fingers for a more textured, piecey finish. For more shine, apply to slightly wetter hair, but avoid applying to soaking wet hair as it will significantly reduce hold. To restyle mid-day, add a small amount of water to your palms and work back through the hair - the formula reactivates easily and gives a fresh result without needing to reapply. For added volume and strength, use a small amount of Imperial Gel Pomade as a base first, blow dry, then finish with Fiber on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy MASC Recommends This\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiber Pomade earns the all-rounder title honestly. It's the product we'd hand to someone who isn't sure where to start with Imperial's range, because it works well on almost any hair type and covers a wide enough territory between hold and shine to suit most everyday styles. The reworkability is genuinely impressive - a quick splash of water and your hair resets completely, which is a bigger practical advantage than it sounds if you're going from the gym to the office or pulling off a helmet on a regular basis. If Classic is your hold-first product, Fiber is your everyday go-to.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imperial Barber Products","offers":[{"title":"177g","offer_id":45465528533174,"sku":"oyz1789658128801","price":17.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"57g","offer_id":45465528565942,"sku":"sxb1789658128802","price":8.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/2996\/0374\/files\/imperial-fiber-pomade-size-options_1.jpg?v=1789658134","url":"https:\/\/cycleaeroclad.shop\/products\/imperial-fiber-pomade-size-options","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
