We were over the moon to hear that Tracee Ellis Ross is launching phase two of her PATTERN Beauty. The new haircare collection, according to Ross is a celebration of black beauty. “As we continue to protest and gather and strategize and hold those in power accountable and reimagine our future and vote, I am reminded that celebrating Black beauty is a part of this revolution,” She said in a video on Instagram. “And I’m reminded of the urgency that propelled me to persist for 10 years to create Pattern.”

As slated to be officially rolled out today 19th June (Juneteenth), a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States, phase two of PATTERN Beauty features over 15 new products and kits for styling black hair patterns. This includes Wide Tooth Comb, Hair Pick, Edge Tool, Curl Gel, Styling Cream, Edge Control & more.

I’m proud to present the PATTERN Poetic Piece! Manifesting the essence of this campaign into a living, moving expression was so incredible, but it wouldn’t have been possible without these like-minded creatives who helped me turn my vision into reality… It’s one thing to work with your best friends, but it’s another when they are as talented as these two are. Thank you @mpaganucci and @samiranasr for not only being my best friends, but also for making this a beautiful experience. Man, I love you both. To finally be able to work with the impeccable @sharifhamza, who knows a thing or two about creating a narrative through images, was such a pleasure. Thank you once again to @amenabee for weaving words into magic and being our poetic partner at @patternbeauty. @naivashaintl, the vastness of hair looks you created on so many of us was beyond! Thank you for sharing your gifts. You crushed it. Thank you @gracegraceahn for your incredible use of color and shared love of natural glowing skin. @heyvinson: thank you for inspiring new shapes and conjuring different stories through our bodies. To the @patternbeauty team: thank you for your tireless, loving, & passionate energy, and for supporting my vision. Thank you @jcwolfington for making all this happen. And thank you to this cast of beauties for sharing your light, your hearts, and your hair, and allowing us to tell the PATTERN story through you. #StyleYourPattern

Although she’s no stranger when it comes to slaying Bantu Knots anywhere possible, we just think this is one hairstyle that looks good on the singer. You can shop for the Pattern Beauty haircare line here.
