PATTERN Beauty by Tracee Ellis Ross Curl Gel w Medium Hold w Aloe and Cacay Oil for Curly Hair, 3a-4c

AMAZING!! Will never use another curl product again. It goes on amazing and the curl game is strong. Great price, my curls are curling and my hair is thick so a little goes a long ways!

This product works well for Black natural hair

Smells nice and is the type of gel I was looking for. It doesn’t hold in place like cheap gel or wax but I want a more natural look anyway without the sheen. Been using for a few years and will keep buying

Use in combination with their mousse for great curl. I was amazed at the volume of curls. My hair looked great.

So good for curly hair, best product I’ve used and I’ve tried a LOT. You can air dry, no crunch, no frizz, great curl shape.

The best curling gel I have found for 4b/4c hair! It leaves my hair feeling moisturized and the hold last about 2-3 days on me. Combine that with the leave in conditioner first, followed by some oil and then add this! Chefs Kiss Tracy and her team should be very proud.

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.

I love this productWish she had more sales or shop pay no lieGreat for 4 type hair brings out curlsGood to use on wet hairVery lightIt smells good like how you would think Tracey Ellis Ross hair would smell.This is the only gel I use for my twa.
