PATTERN Beauty by Tracee Ellis Ross Curl Gel for Curlies, Coilies and Tight Textures (9.8 oz)

its nice

I’m not sure what exactly is in this product but I swear by it now. I purchased this because I was looking for a product to help with my breakage. And this was it. The smell is ok. Not too strong or overpowering. But the curl that it brings to my hair is perfect. It’s light and not like a gel where halfway through the day it looks like a snowplow blew on your head. It’s moisturizing and the hold is chefs kiss. I use a little bit of water and cream on my hands in the morning to give like a refresher to the curls and it still looks good through out the day.

My daughter loves this hair product! We have purchased it over and over again. It has a nice feel and goes on smooth. It is not only super moisturizing, but helps define and keeps her curls in place all day! I like that it doesn’t leave greasy residue on everything she sits up against and it has a nice smell. We will continue to be repeat purchasers!

My favorite curl gel. I use this immediately after the mouse. I don’t use a lot but I love that there isn’t a hard cast on the curls. Just enough hold to keep their shape and limit frizz! Bonus it smells nice. I’ve genuinely had people complement the smell!

I bought this curl gel for my teenage son because, as all moms know these days, the boys are using way more hair products than the girls to show off their curls! At first, he was using the complete product line from this brand, but unfortunately, it gave him dandruff. Because of that, we had to drop the other steps, and he has only kept using this specific cream in his routine. When it comes to effectiveness and appearance, it does a fantastic job of shaping and defining his curls while keeping his frizz completely under control. The formula provides great moisturizing benefits and leaves his hair feeling completely non-greasy, which is excellent. However, it doesn't give the hair any noticeable shine; his curls look quite matte and dull after it dries. In terms of longevity, it doesn't quite last as long as we hoped. He has to reapply the gel every single day or every other day at most, because by the second day, the curls stop holding their shape and stop working. As for the value for money, it is a little on the expensive side for a 9.8 fl oz bottle, but realistically, that is just the price you have to pay nowadays for these types of specialized curl products. It works well for daily styling and keeping volume in check, just don't expect a high-shine finish!
