PATTERN Beauty by Tracee Ellis Ross Mini Styling Cream 3 fl oz - Definition and Hydration for Curly & Coily Hair

This is probably one of the best styling creams I’ve bought since I went natural way back in 2010. I use it with the leave in conditioner from the same line to do twist outs on my 4c hair. It has great hold and the curls from my twist outs last for several days with no flaking or greasiness. And it makes my hair SO soft! The smell is strong and lasts a while, but I like it so I don’t mind too much. I honestly wish it didn’t work as well as it does because it’s kinda expensive lol. That’s the only thing I hate about it. But it does work!

I bought this Styling Cream for both me and my daughter, and it’s been a game changer for our curly hair! The cream provides amazing hold and definition without making our curls crunchy or weighed down. It leaves our hair feeling soft, moisturized, and frizz-free all day. The formula works great for both of us—our hair textures are well-defined and manageable, and it helps enhance our natural curls. The scent is pleasant, too! We’re both really happy with this product and highly recommend it for anyone with curly hair!

Love the smooth texture that goes on clear and smooth. Lasts all day and refreshes with mist of water. No fragrance noted and great for any hair

Here is the updated review with the specific details about the mild fragrance and the excellent curl longevity added: Review Title: Great for curling hair with long-lasting hold, but caused unexpected breakouts I am a bit on the fence about the PATTERN Beauty Styling Cream. On one hand, it works incredibly well for styling and defines my son's curls beautifully. It also has a very pleasant, mild fragrance that isn't overpowering at all, which we really appreciate. The longevity of the product is also fantastic—his curls genuinely stand the test of time, holding their shape and staying defined throughout the entire day without getting frizzy or falling flat. However, since he started using it, he has developed acne along his hairline and face, which he has never had an issue with before. There seems to be something in the rich ingredients or heavy oils that clogs his pores and causes him to break out. I still decided to give it 4 stars because it genuinely does an excellent job curling and styling his hair, and the hold lasts so well. Skin sensitivity varies from person to person, so while it might cause breakouts for someone with sensitive or acne-prone skin, it could work flawlessly for someone else. Just be mindful of skin reactions if you are prone to clogged pores!

The Pattern Styling Cream by Tracee Ellis Ross has quickly become a favorite for those looking to enhance their natural curls and coils. This cream stands out for its frizz-fighting and tangle-managing properties, keeping curls defined, smooth, and easy to style. It’s wonderfully moisturizing, providing a healthy-looking shine and softness without weighing hair down. One of the biggest perks is that it doesn’t cause flaking, making it perfect for all-day wear. The cream has a light, clean scent that’s refreshing but not overpowering, making it ideal for daily use. The generous size of the product offers great value, as a little goes a long way in delivering long-lasting moisture and definition. While some users might notice a slight residue, it’s minimal and doesn’t interfere with styling. The product itself is top-notch for curl care. Overall, Pattern Styling Cream is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to keep frizz at bay, add moisture, and enjoy well-defined curls.

I have 2C/3A hair, so this isn't specifically targeted for my hair type, but my hair is extremely thick, and I've always struggled with maintaining it. I do not like rewetting it and brushing it every day, and this is the only product that keeps my hair frizz-free and hydrated for days. I've rebought this three times over about 1.5 years, so I would say it lasts pretty long for the amount of hair I have (I use about 2/3 pumps for 1/4th of my hair). It's the only product I've used that keeps my hair defined while also making it very moisturized. The scent is subtle and fresh, and the consistency is like any other thicker cream. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with oily hair, as it's extremely hydrating and keeps my hair super soft, even when I have gel in it. I never review anything, but I felt like I needed to review this because I feel like I've tried every product under the sun that don't work for my hair that is inbetween traditional hair types and nothing has compared to this one. I just have to use this and gel when styling and that's it--no more mousse, leave-in conditioners, oils, etc. I've been using it consistently and for a long time that the strands of hair that have tended to be straight from tension are curling again! If there was one product I would recommend for anyone with wavy/curly/coily hair (especially thick hair!) it would be this one.

The best curl cream I have ever tried!! It leave my curls so bouncy and defined. Only thing I don’t like is the smell but other than that it’s a really good cream!

I purchased this with low expectations being that my daughter and I have natural 4c hair that we jokingly refer to as “can’t cha, don’t cha” hair—can’t you comb it & don’t you try. While it’s not true that we can’t comb our hair, it’s so thick & long that friends & family are amazed by the texture & products we use. Cost - I believe that you get what you pay for, so I didn’t let cost sway me away. Being that the results weren’t great, I don’t think the price point is correct. They should lower the cost or improve the formula. Moisture - the product isn’t a complete fail. It has a nice scent which is always a plus in a hair product. I used a lot of the product to actually moisturize my hair, and that was short lived. The product is creamy in my palm but sticky in my hair. The moisture didn’t last & my hair looked very dry shortly after application. The same was true for my daughter’s hair. I really wanted this to work, but it doesn’t seem so. I want to try Tracee other products before giving up, but I currently get better results from other products so can’t move to this on.

Excellent product, pleasant to use, defines natural curls and combats dryness. but the price is too costly.

Por el momento es de lo mejor que he probado para mi cabello afro, me deja el rizo marcado, no necesito mucha cantidad estoy encantada con el curling gel, y con la styling CREAM, deseando probar el curling cream.

Troppo piccolo costo eccessivo. Il prodotto in sé é magnifico il migliore che abbia mia provato. Tutta la linea Pattern é spettacolare peccato che nei siti italiani non si riesca a trovare se non a prezzi folli.

This is the best styling cream I have ever used. Holds better than gel whilst leaving hair soft. Such a shame it’s now out of stock everywhere.

Good
