PATTERN Beauty by Tracee Ellis Ross Mini Curl Gel w Medium Hold w Aloe and Cacay Oil for Curly Hair, Travel Size

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 daughter and I swear by this! Lightly scented, hair stays soft and moisturized. Works well but use sparingly if you have finer hair.

The cream is awesome for curls. It allows you to achieve better curls and holds softly! A must have!

This is my first time using products from this line. I combined the gel with the cream and I like the results however, I did read in the comments before purchasing that it smelt like old ladies cologne; didn’t quite know what that meant but now I do. I’m not a fan of the fragrance, but the product results are great

I paired this product with the pattern, curl cream, and the combination has made such a change in my life. My hair is manageable hydrated. My curls are defined. It doesn’t look frizzy. It’s not weighed down. It’s not hard. It’s just amazing and I love it and I am so glad that I found this!!.

This works well on my 4C hair, but you have to use it as papart of a routine. I use a leave-in conditioner first, a lightweight product to define my curls, and this gel to hold the shape. It's a good medium hold that lasts me 2-3 days. (For crunchy curls that last all week, get the strong hold gel!) Finally, I use a blow dryer on low to absorb the product and get rid of the white cast. It definitely helps to keep in the moisture and hydration. Are there cheaper products out there? Yes, but just like Cecred and Fenty Hair, you're paying a premium for a celebrity to attach their name.

I swear by this stuff for frizz control on vacations

The product is good if you know what to expect and want the specific curl pattern that it forms. If you have naturally curly hair, you may not recognize yourself in the mirror with the results. THIS PRODUCT FLATTENED MY NATURALLY CURLY HAIR. My guess from my own experience in combination with other review pictures is that it is formulated to push hair of most textures and curl patterns towards a specific curl size from both ends of the spectrum. The result is successful only within a certain (bear with me as a scientist mind) phase shift/range with respect to that curvature, and will also obviously depend on what curl size you want/expected. I have natural pencil sized curls and was looking for a simple gel to reinforce that pattern with a combination of moisturizing + some light holding. This product retextures your hair(you can smell the chemical that does this when you wear it) to a very specific curl size- one that I do not prefer since it does not reinforce my hair’s natural curl texture. In this sense it is a catch-all curl product that as I mentioned pushed all textures to what I would describe as large, loose bounce-type curls unnatural to most hair types. I was somewhat disappointed with the product, which is a solid white cream, because I was looking to replace a particular Mielle loose gel product that was discontinued- a clear, very fragrant type of gel that simply kept my natural curl pattern, moisturized and held with even some heat damage protection, as I was living in Florida. This product in my opinion is mislabeled as a gel. This product completely retextures any hair that isn’t loose bounce curls, and even leaves some damage. I used it once for a retwist and was very disappointed, almost upset. I even suffered some damage because of the forced texture over my preferred natural texture. Again, if you know what this is in terms of composition and the single curl size (forced) result, you can perhaps use it to achieve something similarly specific. Or if it suits your natural texture, very loose curls or strait hair to curls, then this product may be for you. I would still use caution with the “gel” label, as most gels I have used do not retexture your hair completely, wash out easily and are for daily styling/ finishing. To summarize, this product does not work with curly textures progressively. It instead induces a single curl type that i would guess most people don’t actually prefer. Other products work with your hair to reinforce and normalize your normal texture with no damage.

its nice
