Like Jaden Smith once said, “what you call an icon livin’?” I call Tracee Ellis Ross an icon living. Aside from being the daughter of Motown singer and icon Diana Ross, Tracee has truly made a name for herself as she is best known for her roles in the hit shows Girlfriends and Blackish. Like mother, like daughter, Tracee is not one to hide her iconic fro, and ensures to rock her natural hair everywhere she goes, making a statement at red carpet events, award shows, and within her television appearances.
When news arose of Tracee launching her own hair care line, Pattern Beauty, I was first in line at my local ULTA Beauty store to test out the products. Initially, Pattern Beauty launched in 2019 when Tracee released a line of seven revolutionary products that ensured to help you achieve and maintain your beautiful, moisturized curls no matter the curl pattern or texture. Being in the Hollywood limelight and being privy to the culture of Hollywood, Tracee noticed a gap in terms of natural beauty and hair care within the industry, thus inspiring her to create Pattern Beauty to fill the void she witnessed in beauty and culture at large. With the mission of helping you embrace the authentic beauty of your natural hair, Pattern Beauty’s products meet the needs of the curly, coily, and tight texture community.
Since its launch, I have been a big fan of the brand and incorporate Pattern Beauty products into my hair care routine frequently. What I enjoy most about Pattern Beauty’s products is that I can use the products in every season, as the products are carefully crafted and packed with fundamental ingredients that are sure to keep my hair healthy and moisturized year round. I am a big fan of scents, yet I often struggle with sensitivity to strong fragrances. However, Pattern Beauty’s products are a happy medium as its products smell natural and clean while tailoring to my hair and sensitive skin. Since its launch, Pattern Beauty has since launched an abundance of products, including more hair care products and hair tools, perfect for your everyday hair care routine. Take a look at my Pattern Beauty holy grails and give these products a try!
