Tracee Ellis Ross, the award-winning actress, has always been a captivating presence, not just for her acting talents, but for her stunning beauty. And a key part of that beauty lies in her ever-evolving hairstyles. From architectural ponytails and intricate box braids to voluminous afros and sleek buns, Ross is a true chameleon when it comes to hair.
Her versatility and confidence with her hair have made her a true hair icon. This passion for fabulous hair ultimately led to the birth of her own brand, Pattern Beauty, which has made significant waves in the afro-textured hair care space. Ross recently even launched a groundbreaking at-home steamer, further solidifying her commitment to providing innovative solutions for diverse hair types.
“Pattern started from my own personal hair journey and my experience with not being able to find products, or see myself and my hair texture mirrored back to me in a way that felt celebratory, supportive and beautiful,” Ross shared with British Vogue during the UK launch of Pattern Beauty. Her journey, as she explained, was one of experimentation and self-discovery, ultimately leading to a harmonious relationship with her own hair.
