pattern Beauty by Tracee Ellis Ross Curl Mousse, 8 Fl Oz, Volume and Hold for Curlies, Coilies and Tight-Textured Hair, 3a-4c

49 year old female, type 3-B curls, thinner texture. I’m prone to frizz, dullness, and depending on the weather, you never know what you’re gonna get with my hair. I bought this mousse yesterday on a whim because I was out of the product I had been using and because I wanted to support a black owned business. My curls have never looked better. They are bouncy. They are lifted. They are shiny. They are soft and touchable. I am a 49-year-old cancer survivor and my hair texture is different than it used to be before chemotherapy. And menopause has not been kind either. Because I’ve mourned the loss of my hair twice now and struggled with it growing back slowly and in patches, I have had prolonged periods of feeling like an ugly duckling. I’m very happy to report that because of this product today I feel like a swan. Thank you so much Pattern! I probably use too much product this first time so I think it will last a while as a moderate amount will go a long way. I used it in conjunction with a light application of Lus all-in-one, but honestly, I don’t even think I need any other product except for this one. The scent might not be for everyone if you’re sensitive to fragrance, but I find it to be light and fresh and clean smelling. I am fully prepared to have total strangers touch my hair the next time I’m at the grocery store… Curly girls know what I’m talking about.

I love this mousse so much it’s so lightweight and adds a nice crunch to my curls, also smells very eco friendly but in a good way, and it’s huge and efficient enough to last for a long time! Note: a little goes a long way, if you want to boost curl definition I suggest this mousse.

This leave-in conditioner has been great for my hair because it makes it feel much softer, smoother, and more moisturized without leaving it greasy or weighed down. It also helps with frizz and makes my hair easier to manage and style while keeping its natural texture. Overall, I’ve noticed my hair feels healthier, looks better, and stays hydrated longer after using it.

This is the only mousse that has made my non-reflective hair shiny! I was really surprised. Great hold. I did notice that the more product you use in one section, the product dries white and flakes. This lets me know I’m using too much product. You really don’t need much with this. I do, however, hate the smell. While applying the product, it smells like old bananas. Like real, rotting bananas. Not an artificial sent. And once the product has dried, it smells like old hair spray from the 90s. Very chemically. I like my unscented products to have no scent period. But the product is so good that I can get over the smell. Maybe I just got a bad one that was close to expiring?

Excellent product very foamy and great smell
