As chemist I just wanna day that silicone isn’t necessarily bad for hair. Silicone has two chains a water loving chain(hydrophilic) and oil loving chain (lipophillic) so that means the oil loving coats the hair but it washes off. Surfactants also aren bad the problem is after care after you wash you must replenish and seal moisture
Your comment about the silicone makes since others have said the shampoo really feels like its moisturizing while in but as soon as they rinse, its not!
surfactants are def a prob for many of us. Everyone's hair does not react the same way to being stripped and then "replenished". Also, if you have sensitive skin...very drying.
I tried silicone free but honestly it didn’t work. It is TOO humid where I live. Those silicones help so much in this climate so each person just use what works for you.
Same I have very dense thick 4b/4c hair and my hair tangles wayyy too much. Products with silicones give me enough slip to detangle my hair. I try to minimise how many products I use that do have silicones tho.
A cyclic silicone is basically a silicone that is in a common shape (such as a triangle, square, hexagon, etc.)Cyclic structures are very strong and do not break apart easily. Regular silicones are in lines meaning that they are straight chains of atoms attached to each other- these chains can be broken with little effort. I'm currently in Survey of Chemistry 2 (organic chemistry) in college right now so that's how I know a lil about this. Hope this helped!
Not all cyclic compounds are stable structures. Five and six membered rings are the lost stable (especially when aromatic), but rings with less than five members or more than six have a considerable amount of ring strain and can be broken relatively easily.
I really appreciate @PATTERN responding. So many people (with no knowledge of chemistry for raw materials as well as man made ones) give silicones such a bad name. Yes, your hair can thrive without them just as it can thrive WITH them. Same thing with sulfates, but to each their own. People also see alcohols but fail to realize that there are other ingredients that work with it for softening or moisturizing properties. As for price point, expect to pay even more if the company moves to completely natural/biodegradable ingredients. It's funny/sad that you have to pay out more for healthier things, lol! I happily purchased the products with no fear (the air we breathe is more problematic than her ingredients list 😂😭😔). I did leave that brush behind though... judging by the look on her face while using it, I'm glad I did 🤣

This is the reason why I have been following you since I stumbled over one of your videos about 3 years ago. If is not Bianca approved you don't buy it! ❤😝
When you said you were doing a review on these products and I found out about the silicones I was like 😳😳😳 is Bianca about to put silicones in her hair?! So glad you keep it real. Love the review, I hope Tracee sees this and takes what you said into consideration.
Thank you for your honest review. I have seen a few more reviews and some of them are not realistic......but that's why I watch you! I love Traci too and was so excited to hear of her launching a new product line, but was disappointed when I checked out the product ingredients. I heard these products have been in production for 10 years, and no stylers!! Really!! Thanks for looking out for us. You are the best!!!!!
Thank you for sharing the real deal on this line! I love Tracey but not more than my curls. I don’t believe she has any clue about ingredients especially since the alcohols are in the products. I’ll purchase when she gets rid of the sulfates, silicones, and isopropyl alcohol. Great review!!
I think Bianca said it was near the bottom, so it was probably used to carry or break down another of the ingredients nearby on the list. If it was the first or second ingredient, then I would be concerned. HTH.
I don't think I need to be that strict about ingredients. Especially if the silicones are water-soluble or in the last 5 ingredients. A nice low sulphate or sulphate free shampoo will get it out easily.
HiThereLindsey - I think it varies for folks, for most it’s probably not an issue but I find they build up in my hair especially easy and I’m not about the flaky life so I avoid silicones as much as possible
This mindset astounds me; Black women will spend $200-$800 or more on a weave, lace-front or other, on braided or extensions- BUT making sure the hair growing from your head receives the best product available using ingredients to promote health, shine, growth as well as making sure product are non-cancerous after prolonged use......... “I don’t think I need to be that strict about ingredients”............ I just can’t....will never understand this mindset.....😶😳
thank you someone with logic knows how to use silicones appropriately. these comments about it not being bad are so odd I saw someone say tresemme was a "good" brand lmao with all that liquid plastic and fake properties yeah right. like if you wouldnt melt ceram wrap onto your hair why would you buy something with that ingredient?
Thanks for your honesty Bianca. I know that I can always count on you to keep it real with us and I appreciate that girl!!! Hope Tracee comes out with stylers that are Bianca Renee approved!!!!
I love your constructive review. The one thing I don’t get is why the Shampoo has silicones, Where a vast majority of really good shampoos Don’t. 🤷🏽♀️
Anyone feel free to correct me if I am mistaken. From what I understand silicones are an inexpensive way to add shine and slip to give the illusion that the hair is healthier right after using the product, so you see them in more prominent in products where you don't see things like coconut oil, olive oil, or shea. Any cheaper end hair care product that makes a claim to "instant" silky smoothness probably has a silicone in it. I suspect its more common in shampoo than we would expect. It is really just an instant gratification ingredient. Many people notice the difference in texture after a few silicone-free washes and it alarms them because their hair less shiny and smooth. So I suspect that product placement and focus groups indicate that the presence of silicone is favored by consumers.
SSNUTHIN great point! I think the natural hair community is somewhat obsessed with slip. I don't really need my shampoo to have a lot of slip, but some naturals want every product to have it. I agree that silicones give the appearance of shiny, moisturized hair, but if your hair is prone to buildup and you don't clarify your hair, you'll likely experience dryness over time.
Stylist Here: But sulfates are not something to avoid because u need to get rid of of that build up so I’d say we need to have a line with a clarifying sulfate shampoo just one ☝🏻 for all hair types...we need it so that we can cleanse and detoxify our hair and leave room for our following products to work.
Chris Barwo that’s what deep conditioners are for, I use sulfates because when my hair is completely stripped my deep conditioners work better. I really don’t know why people run away from using sulfates when you’re going to put the moisture back into the hair anyways with a conditioner
I have high porosity 3c/4a hair and wash weekly. I use non-sulfate for 3 weeks and sulfate at the end of the month to erase build-up and clarify.During a midwest winter this changes. My sister is normal porosity 4b/4c. She co- washes every 2 weeks( and then protective styles it), washes once a month with non- sulfates and washes every 8wks with a sulfate when she wants to clarify and straighten her hair. My bestie low porosity 3b/3c/4a washes every other day with non sulfates and clarifies with a sulfate every two weeks to a month depending on weather and personal activity. YOU have to learn YOUR hair and your hair's phases and behaviour patterns...
I really appreciated your honesty! Like serious because I’m one of those subscribers that’s been trying to do my best with my curly hair and Ive worked to hard to start putting bad or unnecessary things in it 💯
I'm 4a with fine hair and I like the Intensive condish best, though it's meant for 4c tighter textures (I bought the travel-size 3-pack conditioner set to try all 3). I'm also high porosity; silicones can help hi-po hair by forming a barrier over raised cuticles (I know you already know that) and some products with silicones work well on my hi-po hair (Nexxus Keraphix condish comes to mind). But I hope you get that meeting! 😉🙌🏾
I think the reason the Pattern brush wasn't working is because it's the same kind of brush as the Denman, and the Denman isn't a detangling brush, it's a curl defining brush. The Pattern bush has very stiff, rigid bristles, which should tell you immediately not to use it for detangling, you should always use a brush with flexible bristles to detangle hair.
Amazing review! My dad told me that she had created a product line because he thought I may be interested and now I am less based on the silicone situation! Your reviews rock Bianca! Thanks for the honesty!!
So grateful for the education on ingredients but let me tell you a quick story ; went to a store with my daughter and looked in the mirror and felt bad my hair did not look good and the sale lady said you still waiting for your daughter is there something I can help you with I said yes my hair needs something she got a few good products but I decided to try the leave in conditioner pattern by Ms .Tracee Ross wow ;wow ;wow it would take me three different product to get that look that the pattern gave me. Ms.Tracee Ross I am hooked on your product I am 53 years old I have used products I am totally in love with it , it makes my hair feel so good its naturally curly and we all know you need good ingredients for curly hair .
I will say that I hear what Bianca is saying regarding that the leave in conditioner may not classify as a styler. However, I actually used the leave in as my only styler (and I’m a girl who loves to throw 2-4 products in my hair at once for styling) and I was thoroughly impressed with the results. The leave in conditioner has a very light consistency that is buildable depending on how much hold and moisture you want. I think it would have been worth a shot to see how this product would have worked.
A little bummed about the silicone. I was really looking forward to trying out these products. Hopefully they move towards silicone free products. Thanks for the HONEST review!
I was waiting for you to make this video. I looked through all your videos to see what type of products I should be using in my hair. I Love my natural curly hair. I don’t need for my hair to be stripped away by these products that’s supposed to do the right thing. Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to even make this video. I swear your curls are one of a kind💚❤️💕🤩
Bianca I felt just like you when I saw the Ingredients! I love Tracee and I was super excited that she created a natural hair line! I’m keeping watch on this in case she changes the formula or creates a new product. Thank you Bianca for your honesty always. I appreciate you more than you know!
I wish natural hair channels (especially big ones like Bianca) would preach more about individuality in hair. That maybe for one natural silicones can be terrible, cause buildup, and all of that but for another it can be just what they need to get through a week with good hair (and they could have the same hair type and porosity). We’re all different and we’re all not gonna have the same hair. If you’ve gotten down this far just remember to do what’s best for your hair.💞💞 Take what these channels say with a grain of salt.
😂the "why, why, why" took me out and reading with those glasses also 👀those glasses were sooo cute on you and yes they need a Bianca stamp of approval for the products to be curly hair friendly
@@BiancaReneeToday of course 😂💕and I spend a good hour in stores immediately flipping over the bottle checking ingredients unless I'm sure a brand is curly girl friendly
@@mearrafranklin8711 Just because something is deemed safe to use by the government (of all people) does not mean it is harmless, nor does it being a "organic compound" in chemistry the terms "organic" and "inorganic" take on a slightly different meaning. Also, just because a compound is organic does not make it physically safe for humans. I have had adverse reactions to the substances mentioned that you just referred to as safe, and harmless. Please tell that to my kidney and liver that responds negatively to both propylene glycol and caprylyl glycol
This is exactly why I decided not to purchase because I wish she would have added a styler. Can’t tell how good the products are if I’m washing it out and using another product.
As a tight, very tight curly, the products worked well in my hair, but only when wet, my curls pop. Sadly, az my hair dries, the curl definition is gone. I had to use my earth tones jelly to get the curl definition to stay. However the shampoo, intense conditioner, leave in with argannoil has left my hair so hydrated. Pattern Beauty will be doing a phase 2, which will focua more on styling gels etc.
Glamtwinz did a review on this line and they have very thick hair. Kelsey only used the conditioner as a styler and leave in and her turned out bomb. Kendra used the conditoner as a leave in and a gel only two products and her hair turned on bomb.
Cyclic silicones (or siloxanes) are frequently used as solvents for fragrance and essential oils, and also as carrier fluids for higher molecular weight silicones such as dimethicone and dimethiconol. This aids the formulator in preparing her final product because she can prepare her oil phase by combining cyclomethicone and the silicone and/or fragrance oil and add her emulsifier, prior to addition of the entire oil phase to the aqueous phase. Cyclomethicones are also favored by formulators because they spread easily on the hair and skin, and the lubrication they provide isn't greasy or tacky. Because of their low vapor pressure, they evaporate easily from hair or skin at room temperature, and therefore aren't prone to build-up or an oily residue. For this reason, they are sometimes used as an additive in products such as spray leave-in conditioners to help speed drying time. Another benefit of their low vapor pressure is that it provides a way for the desired ingredients to penetrate into the hair shaft or skin. The cyclic silicone is too large to penetrate the skin or hair itself, but is small enough to dissolve the beneficial ingredient, deposit it onto the hair surface, and then evaporate, leaving behind the beneficial ingredient. Cyclic silicones may appear on labels by several different names, such as: Cyclomethicone (can be a single cyclic silicone or a mixture of two or more) Cyclopentasiloxane Cyclotetrasiloxane Cyclohexasiloxane Octamethyl cyclotetrasiloxane Several curly-haired consumers on NaturallyCurly have reported very unfavorable results with products containing cyclopentasiloxane in particular. These problems were attributed to build-up on the surface or build up due to penetration of the smaller silicone into the hair shaft. However, this seems unlikely because of the chemical and physical properties of these molecules. I believe that evaporation of the cyclic silicones creates a ruffled hair cuticle that creates a rough, unpleasant texture on the hair surface in the same manner as evaporation of ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol. The mildly acidic pH of a shampoo and conditioner will help restore the sealed, flat surface of the cuticle, thereby improving the texture and gloss of the hair. From www.naturallycurly.com/curlreading/curl-products/curlchemist-cyclomethicones-a-different-category-of-silicones PATTERN now has stylers
That is why we sub, you’re give us the real on stuff! Good video and it is nice that they offer bigger sizes, NOW ,clean up the ingredients and we’ll really have something good in our hands
I’ve been waiting for this review🙌🏽! Thank you for your honest review as always! 😍❤️ Hopefully Pattern Beauty does come out with a styler soon to go with the shampoo and conditioner
She did say that there are good and bad silicones, she just prefers NO silicones. I'm not that picky. As long as it doesn't cost too much, dry my hair out and doesn't leave buildup I'm down. I do check for animal testing though.
Did anyone else see the video notification and thought today was Friday? 😂 I had to double look at my calendar because the last time I checked videos were on Friday and Sunday 😂 Happy to get a video a day early this week! 💙
fawk cku my hair personally likes silicone, I find that silicone free conditioners do absolutely nothing for my hair except tangle up and dry out my curls
@@kristinamarie111 saaaaaame but the only silicone free conditioner I swear by though is tresemme coconut aloe vera. Silicones still cause 0 damage or dryness. its a marketing gimmick that I fell for.
Thanks Biancs Renee, Great honest review. Now I have a much better idea what will work on my hair before I try the products. I love your channel and very educational. Thanks, Gigi
Pls don’t pretend to be a chemist. Most sulfates are fine. Sulfates have been fear mongered like msg. Nothing is wrong with sulfates in small amounts but like anything large amounts are what have been noted as harsh. Same with silicones for some people it works. What works for you is not what everyone needs. Despite you having a treasure trove of products so do many others.
Really don’t like when youtubers try to slam things just because a certain ingredient doesn’t work for them. So annoying because of course they tested it. We saw this with ecostyler too.
Um...sulfates are not good for all hair or skin types, it can me extremely drying for certain skin and hair types. Being an informed consumer is not trying ro pass off as a chemist. And befor you shoot back your over generalized info at me, I am a specially certified professional makeup artist and skin care specialist, for over 25 yrs of graduated skin care&skin physiology certifications and specialized programs. Which specializes in cosmetics ingredients and the effect on skin types and conditions.
Thanks for reviewing them so fast and efficiently and thanks for being honest. I thought is was a well done video and you really come in clutch when I'm thinking of buying a hair product
This review was very informative, I have been waiting for this product for my great grand daughter who is fourteen and need a product that will be good for her hair. The stylist we have come a cross here in Houston does not seem to have a clue of whats good for black hair. So, thank you BiancaRenee and Tracee Ross. I will be watching.
Could you do more videos on creating your own hair products in the kitchen. I'm really interested in making my own shampoo, conditioner, styling cream etc. Save that money and chemical damage
I avoid products that contain that drying alcohol because they really dry out my curls and make them tangled. Maui Moisture is the one brand I stay away from, I can’t use anything from that line because they all dry out my hair
Great review. Im glad you got a hold of a product in Tracy's line. There are individuals who are doing reviews on her products. I skipped them hoping you would review her products. Thanks for your honest opinion. From one curly girls to the next. Much appreciated.
We talk about silicones, sulfates, parabens, etc..BUT have NO problems coloring hair. Now let's talk about those chemicals and the damage it's doing it.
@@lethalmaxim I will, because my energy is honest. I'm natural, but just as some knock certain products due to a silicone they turn a blind eye to the much worse chemicals that they put in their hair. Deflecting to my energy (which by the way you would know nothing about) is just another way of not addressing the hypocrisy. :)
If you clarify or use a shampoo that has gentle cleansing sulfates, then you can use silicones with little to no problems. Sulfates are the only way to remove them.
Thank you so much for this video! May you please do a video with your recent favorite products, including shampoo/conditioner, stylers, hair masks and oils?
Thank you for your honest review and keepin it real las always!! Please review Innersense Organic Beauty products, they’re pricey but I’ve heard raving reviews about them, pretty pleeessee 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I'm no expert, however in my experience for example, I was in love with a certain product vyears ago. I won't give the name. Anyway my hair would feel so soft and manageable. So much slip it was amazing. But after months of uding that product I started noticing my hair started getting dry and there was so much shedding. I was young and didn't know any better. High School days. Once I started working, I started going to the hair dresser regularly. She is the one that figured out it was the shampoo that I was using. She taught me about silicones costing the hair strands and not allowing any moisture in. This in turn caused the hair to dry out. So I'm guessing that if you are the person that shampoos their hair every other day, water soluble silicones may not be too bad. However if you are the person that shampoos their hair every week or every other week, that's when silicones do the damage. So it just depends on the person and their routine. With that being said, maybe Pattern will come out with a line that is strictly Sulfate, Paraben and Silicone Free for those of us that may have an issue with those particular ingredients. They have nothing to lose. Just taps into another customer base.
I can share my experience with Pattern beauty . I bought the intensive conditioner for tight coils , leave in and jojoba serum. My hair is fine and low porosity. The products gave me no moisture and left particles in my hair meaning it did not absorb. The only thing I liked is the jojoba hair serum. I don’t think the products are gear for low porosity fine hair girls like me. Will be using it with my henna gloss so I can make sure I wash it out completely from my hair.

I use this product several times and I've got amazing results my hair has been so curly I've never thought it could be as early as it is now and no damage done to my hair I'm not a woman of color but I do have nieces that are little ladies of color and it works very good on our hair so I'm so happy and lucky forTracy for the making us this product I honestly don't know what I would do if I did not have this product
I'm here for the truth! I know you're gonna keep it real. Only the intense conditioner is silicone free
This is the reason why I have been following you since I stumbled over one of your videos about 3 years ago. If is not Bianca approved you don't buy it! ❤😝
Patriang Arias No one person is the authority for me.
Or "Girlfriends" 😄 Amen @biancarenee silicones are not necessary...moisture is. Come On "Intensiveness"😉
When you said you were doing a review on these products and I found out about the silicones I was like 😳😳😳 is Bianca about to put silicones in her hair?!
So glad you keep it real. Love the review, I hope Tracee sees this and takes what you said into consideration.
Thank you for your honest review. I have seen a few more reviews and some of them are not realistic......but that's why I watch you! I love Traci too and was so excited to hear of her launching a new product line, but was disappointed when I checked out the product ingredients. I heard these products have been in production for 10 years, and no stylers!! Really!! Thanks for looking out for us. You are the best!!!!!
Thank you for sharing the real deal on this line! I love Tracey but not more than my curls. I don’t believe she has any clue about ingredients especially since the alcohols are in the products. I’ll purchase when she gets rid of the sulfates, silicones, and isopropyl alcohol. Great review!!
I think Bianca said it was near the bottom, so it was probably used to carry or break down another of the ingredients nearby on the list. If it was the first or second ingredient, then I would be concerned. HTH.
I don't think I need to be that strict about ingredients. Especially if the silicones are water-soluble or in the last 5 ingredients. A nice low sulphate or sulphate free shampoo will get it out easily.
HiThereLindsey - I think it varies for folks, for most it’s probably not an issue but I find they build up in my hair especially easy and I’m not about the flaky life so I avoid silicones as much as possible
This mindset astounds me; Black women will spend $200-$800 or more on a weave, lace-front or other, on braided or extensions- BUT making sure the hair growing from your head receives the best product available using ingredients to promote health, shine, growth as well as making sure product are non-cancerous after prolonged use.........
“I don’t think I need to be that strict about ingredients”............ I just can’t....will never understand this mindset.....😶😳
This products is very expensive to not have the ingredients on point.
thank you someone with logic knows how to use silicones appropriately. these comments about it not being bad are so odd I saw someone say tresemme was a "good" brand lmao with all that liquid plastic and fake properties yeah right.
like if you wouldnt melt ceram wrap onto your hair why would you buy something with that ingredient?
You got it right.
Thanks for your honesty Bianca. I know that I can always count on you to keep it real with us and I appreciate that girl!!! Hope Tracee comes out with stylers that are Bianca Renee approved!!!!
To see if a product is CG friendly use the website Curls bot and copy paste ingredients and it will tell you if it’s CG friendly
Styled Hairology Helpful!
Styled Hairology thanks for the information. I’m gonna have to check it out.
When she puts on her glasses, she looks like the teacher from Recess. Beautiful woman.
I love your constructive review. The one thing I don’t get is why the Shampoo has silicones, Where a vast majority of really good shampoos Don’t. 🤷🏽♀️
Anyone feel free to correct me if I am mistaken. From what I understand silicones are an inexpensive way to add shine and slip to give the illusion that the hair is healthier right after using the product, so you see them in more prominent in products where you don't see things like coconut oil, olive oil, or shea. Any cheaper end hair care product that makes a claim to "instant" silky smoothness probably has a silicone in it. I suspect its more common in shampoo than we would expect.
It is really just an instant gratification ingredient. Many people notice the difference in texture after a few silicone-free washes and it alarms them because their hair less shiny and smooth. So I suspect that product placement and focus groups indicate that the presence of silicone is favored by consumers.
It's possible that they wanted the shampoo to have slip to help avoid breakage
SSNUTHIN great point! I think the natural hair community is somewhat obsessed with slip. I don't really need my shampoo to have a lot of slip, but some naturals want every product to have it. I agree that silicones give the appearance of shiny, moisturized hair, but if your hair is prone to buildup and you don't clarify your hair, you'll likely experience dryness over time.
Stylist Here:
But sulfates are not something to avoid because u need to get rid of of that build up so I’d say we need to have a line with a clarifying sulfate shampoo just one ☝🏻 for all hair types...we need it so that we can cleanse and detoxify our hair and leave room for our following products to work.
Yeah but sulfate is too rough on natural hair and can make it break off. Our hair is sensitive so it can get cleaned just fine without sulfate.
Chris Barwo that’s what deep conditioners are for, I use sulfates because when my hair is completely stripped my deep conditioners work better. I really don’t know why people run away from using sulfates when you’re going to put the moisture back into the hair anyways with a conditioner
Fatumata Gumaneh thank u :) I wrote something earlier but thought it was too long so I didn’t respond. I’m a stylist I agree with what ur saying
I have high porosity 3c/4a hair and wash weekly. I use non-sulfate for 3 weeks and sulfate at the end of the month to erase build-up and clarify.During a midwest winter this changes. My sister is normal porosity 4b/4c. She co- washes every 2 weeks( and then protective styles it), washes once a month with non- sulfates and washes every 8wks with a sulfate when she wants to clarify and straighten her hair. My bestie low porosity 3b/3c/4a washes every other day with non sulfates and clarifies with a sulfate every two weeks to a month depending on weather and personal activity. YOU have to learn YOUR hair and your hair's phases and behaviour patterns...
Tanesha Richardson omg thank u for this love. Just thank u couldn’t have said it any better :)
I really appreciated your honesty! Like serious because I’m one of those subscribers that’s been trying to do my best with my curly hair and Ive worked to hard to start putting bad or unnecessary things in it 💯
I'm 4a with fine hair and I like the Intensive condish best, though it's meant for 4c tighter textures (I bought the travel-size 3-pack conditioner set to try all 3). I'm also high porosity; silicones can help hi-po hair by forming a barrier over raised cuticles (I know you already know that) and some products with silicones work well on my hi-po hair (Nexxus Keraphix condish comes to mind). But I hope you get that meeting! 😉🙌🏾
I think the reason the Pattern brush wasn't working is because it's the same kind of brush as the Denman, and the Denman isn't a detangling brush, it's a curl defining brush. The Pattern bush has very stiff, rigid bristles, which should tell you immediately not to use it for detangling, you should always use a brush with flexible bristles to detangle hair.
Amazing review! My dad told me that she had created a product line because he thought I may be interested and now I am less based on the silicone situation! Your reviews rock Bianca! Thanks for the honesty!!
Bianca I would say different products work for different hair types. Some people may like these the way they are.
When detangling with a brush I would do smaller sections and shorter gentler strokes, I almost had a heart attack at 10:00
Girl, do you not see her curls? I’m sure she knows how to detangle her hair! Lol
Her hair is pretty thin when wet so I don’t think smaller sections would be a solution
I know right... ! I was screaming internally!!!! start at the bottom and work your way up...
Nakia Sutton yes girl! That’s how I do it 👏🏼
I’ve been sleeping under a rock 😩 I’ve never heard of these products!
Finally an influencer that is not afraid to give am honest review on CG products ingredients ❤️❤️❤️
So grateful for the education on ingredients but let me tell you a quick story ; went to a store with my daughter and looked in the mirror and felt bad my hair did not look good and the sale lady said you still waiting for your daughter is there something I can help you with I said yes my hair needs something she got a few good products but I decided to try the leave in conditioner pattern by Ms .Tracee Ross wow ;wow ;wow it would take me three different product to get that look that the pattern gave me. Ms.Tracee Ross I am hooked on your product I am 53 years old I have used products I am totally in love with it , it makes my hair feel so good its naturally curly and we all know you need good ingredients for curly hair .
You’d be surprised how many shampoos actually have silicone
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Preeach
Yep and for low po hair, ya gotta be careful with that.
I think brands added silicone on their shampoo for shine (fake) on the hair.
I will say that I hear what Bianca is saying regarding that the leave in conditioner may not classify as a styler. However, I actually used the leave in as my only styler (and I’m a girl who loves to throw 2-4 products in my hair at once for styling) and I was thoroughly impressed with the results. The leave in conditioner has a very light consistency that is buildable depending on how much hold and moisture you want. I think it would have been worth a shot to see how this product would have worked.
A little bummed about the silicone. I was really looking forward to trying out these products. Hopefully they move towards silicone free products. Thanks for the HONEST review!
Love yours honesty!! Thank God I waited! Pattern, PLEASE remove all silicones , sulfates & parabens!!!!!
That's not fair to those who don't have a problem with it
The way you’re saying “cyclic” is killing me!!! 😩😩 it’s pronounced like “sick-lick”
I was waiting for you to make this video. I looked through all your videos to see what type of products I should be using in my hair. I Love my natural curly hair. I don’t need for my hair to be stripped away by these products that’s supposed to do the right thing. Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to even make this video. I swear your curls are one of a kind💚❤️💕🤩
Bianca I felt just like you when I saw the Ingredients! I love Tracee and I was super excited that she created a natural hair line! I’m keeping watch on this in case she changes the formula or creates a new product. Thank you Bianca for your honesty always. I appreciate you more than you know!
I wish natural hair channels (especially big ones like Bianca) would preach more about individuality in hair. That maybe for one natural silicones can be terrible, cause buildup, and all of that but for another it can be just what they need to get through a week with good hair (and they could have the same hair type and porosity). We’re all different and we’re all not gonna have the same hair. If you’ve gotten down this far just remember to do what’s best for your hair.💞💞 Take what these channels say with a grain of salt.
😂the "why, why, why" took me out and reading with those glasses also 👀those glasses were sooo cute on you and yes they need a Bianca stamp of approval for the products to be curly hair friendly
🤣🤣 that cat always gets me! Thanks for trusting me! 🥰❤️
@@BiancaReneeToday of course 😂💕and I spend a good hour in stores immediately flipping over the bottle checking ingredients unless I'm sure a brand is curly girl friendly
Unfortunately, the products have bad ingredients underneath the natural ingredients such as polysorbates, propylene glycol, PEG and PPG 😔
Wow, thank you for the (further) education! Wow!!
@@mearrafranklin8711 THANK YOU! You're right. :)
@@mearrafranklin8711 Just because something is deemed safe to use by the government (of all people) does not mean it is harmless, nor does it being a "organic compound" in chemistry the terms "organic" and "inorganic" take on a slightly different meaning. Also, just because a compound is organic does not make it physically safe for humans. I have had adverse reactions to the substances mentioned that you just referred to as safe, and harmless. Please tell that to my kidney and liver that responds negatively to both propylene glycol and caprylyl glycol
I love how you posted a video on thursday instead of waiting till friday. Thank you Bianca!
I got chu!! 😎🙌🏽
This video was a little obnoxious. I hope it was for humorous purposes.
She thinks she is SINBAD. Who is corny.
@@TiMalice2009 why, Sinbad? He's been MIA for over 20 yrs. But, okay.
FifthAmendment That’s her father-in-law.
@@TiMalice2009 oh...
Obnoxious? 🤔 U must not watch her channel often. Thats just her personality. She did a great review
This is exactly why I decided not to purchase because I wish she would have added a styler. Can’t tell how good the products are if I’m washing it out and using another product.
PREACH!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
As a tight, very tight curly, the products worked well in my hair, but only when wet, my curls pop. Sadly, az my hair dries, the curl definition is gone. I had to use my earth tones jelly to get the curl definition to stay.
However the shampoo, intense conditioner, leave in with argannoil has left my hair so hydrated.
Pattern Beauty will be doing a phase 2, which will focua more on styling gels etc.
Glamtwinz did a review on this line and they have very thick hair. Kelsey only used the conditioner as a styler and leave in and her turned out bomb. Kendra used the conditoner as a leave in and a gel only two products and her hair turned on bomb.
Cyclic silicones (or siloxanes) are frequently used as solvents for fragrance and essential oils, and also as carrier fluids for higher molecular weight silicones such as dimethicone and dimethiconol. This aids the formulator in preparing her final product because she can prepare her oil phase by combining cyclomethicone and the silicone and/or fragrance oil and add her emulsifier, prior to addition of the entire oil phase to the aqueous phase.
Cyclomethicones are also favored by formulators because they spread easily on the hair and skin, and the lubrication they provide isn't greasy or tacky. Because of their low vapor pressure, they evaporate easily from hair or skin at room temperature, and therefore aren't prone to build-up or an oily residue. For this reason, they are sometimes used as an additive in products such as spray leave-in conditioners to help speed drying time. Another benefit of their low vapor pressure is that it provides a way for the desired ingredients to penetrate into the hair shaft or skin. The cyclic silicone is too large to penetrate the skin or hair itself, but is small enough to dissolve the beneficial ingredient, deposit it onto the hair surface, and then evaporate, leaving behind the beneficial ingredient.
Cyclic silicones may appear on labels by several different names, such as:
Cyclomethicone (can be a single cyclic silicone or a mixture of two or more)
Cyclopentasiloxane
Cyclotetrasiloxane
Cyclohexasiloxane
Octamethyl cyclotetrasiloxane
Several curly-haired consumers on NaturallyCurly have reported very unfavorable results with products containing cyclopentasiloxane in particular. These problems were attributed to build-up on the surface or build up due to penetration of the smaller silicone into the hair shaft. However, this seems unlikely because of the chemical and physical properties of these molecules. I believe that evaporation of the cyclic silicones creates a ruffled hair cuticle that creates a rough, unpleasant texture on the hair surface in the same manner as evaporation of ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol. The mildly acidic pH of a shampoo and conditioner will help restore the sealed, flat surface of the cuticle, thereby improving the texture and gloss of the hair.

PATTERN now has stylers
Bianca your eyeshadow's lookin' suuuuper cute in this video 😃😃😄😄
I know I was thinking the same thing!
Need to see how to keep eye makeup on, even in the shower!! BR is genius!!
That is why we sub, you’re give us the real on stuff! Good video and it is nice that they offer bigger sizes, NOW ,clean up the ingredients and we’ll really have something good in our hands
They said that they’re coming out with stylers next year
Felicity Ford as in 2020? Can they do it before summer and like right when this virus ends? I need more
I’ve been waiting for this review🙌🏽! Thank you for your honest review as always! 😍❤️
Hopefully Pattern Beauty does come out with a styler soon to go with the shampoo and conditioner
Why can we have a good alcohol but not a good silicone? Not being messy, I’m legit wondering please don’t attack me 😖 lol
Curlswithlizzz Good question especially if you can have good and bad alcohol
She did say that there are good and bad silicones, she just prefers NO silicones. I'm not that picky. As long as it doesn't cost too much, dry my hair out and doesn't leave buildup I'm down. I do check for animal testing though.
@@oslowcloud when she showed the ingredients, seen Isopropyl alcohol, which is rubbing alcohol, no for me
Your opinion is enlightening. As a grandma I was very interested in your comments for my ethnic grandchildren.
I ALWAYS make sure you give the stamp of approval before I get a new product. So thank you so very much for keeping it honest!!
Did anyone else see the video notification and thought today was Friday? 😂 I had to double look at my calendar because the last time I checked videos were on Friday and Sunday 😂 Happy to get a video a day early this week! 💙
Thank you for this video! I'm so glad you reviewed the new launch of the products as well! I'll have to look at the new products and try them
Wow you have a lot of power in the natural hair space good job on using your influence on the product developers themselves
Thanks for ur honesty! This was a very classy product review. I appreciated how you focused on the positives of the product line!🤗
ill say this till im blue in the face.
silicones are not bad for your hair. That is all.
I still wouldn't buy this though
@@mjbridges overpriced imo. plenty of affordable brands that work the same.. I love Tracees spirit though :'((
Nah they are terrible! Wouldn’t let moisture in!
@@ariannahlavac I need the scientific proof ma'am cause my hair seems fine and I rarely wash w sulphates
fawk cku my hair personally likes silicone, I find that silicone free conditioners do absolutely nothing for my hair except tangle up and dry out my curls
@@kristinamarie111 saaaaaame but the only silicone free conditioner I swear by though is tresemme coconut aloe vera. Silicones still cause 0 damage or dryness. its a marketing gimmick that I fell for.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thanks Biancs Renee, Great honest review. Now I have a much better idea what will work on my hair before I try the products. I love your channel and very educational. Thanks, Gigi
Been waiting for this video since I heard about the release of the products 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Couldn’t wait to hear a review on these products since i found out them....you ROCK Curlfriend💞💞💞💞💞
Pls don’t pretend to be a chemist. Most sulfates are fine. Sulfates have been fear mongered like msg. Nothing is wrong with sulfates in small amounts but like anything large amounts are what have been noted as harsh. Same with silicones for some people it works. What works for you is not what everyone needs. Despite you having a treasure trove of products so do many others.
Really don’t like when youtubers try to slam things just because a certain ingredient doesn’t work for them. So annoying because of course they tested it. We saw this with ecostyler too.
I agree
And what about the environmental aspect!!!
I agree it’s annoying but she follows the CG method and avoids for that reason.
Um...sulfates are not good for all hair or skin types, it can me extremely drying for certain skin and hair types. Being an informed consumer is not trying ro pass off as a chemist. And befor you shoot back your over generalized info at me, I am a specially certified professional makeup artist and skin care specialist, for over 25 yrs of graduated skin care&skin physiology certifications and specialized programs. Which specializes in cosmetics ingredients and the effect on skin types and conditions.
Thanks for reviewing them so fast and efficiently and thanks for being honest. I thought is was a well done video and you really come in clutch when I'm thinking of buying a hair product
love it! we do appreciate how honest you are and yaaas i hoping for a future chabge in their formulas so everyone can use them ♡ thank you guuurl
I was scared to get her products although her hair is everything. Thank goodness you tried it.
Bianca, have you tried the honey hydrate LIC?
This review was very informative, I have been waiting for this product for my great grand daughter who is fourteen and need a product that will be good for her hair. The stylist we have come a cross here in Houston does not seem to have a clue of whats good for black hair. So, thank you BiancaRenee and Tracee Ross. I will be watching.
Could you do more videos on creating your own hair products in the kitchen. I'm really interested in making my own shampoo, conditioner, styling cream etc. Save that money and chemical damage
Mikayla Malchione She should people will buy, she would do great I would support.
My soul broke while you detangled 👀👀😭😭 lol
I avoid products that contain that drying alcohol because they really dry out my curls and make them tangled. Maui Moisture is the one brand I stay away from, I can’t use anything from that line because they all dry out my hair
Great review. Im glad you got a hold of a product in Tracy's line. There are individuals who are doing reviews on her products. I skipped them hoping you would review her products. Thanks for your honest opinion. From one curly girls to the next. Much appreciated.
That's why I love you Ms Bianca Renee. You are the absolute best.
Please continue to keep it real! You are appreciated! Loved this video😊
We talk about silicones, sulfates, parabens, etc..BUT have NO problems coloring hair. Now let's talk about those chemicals and the damage it's doing it.
Carla M. Okayyyyy. Keep that same energy.
@@lethalmaxim I will, because my energy is honest. I'm natural, but just as some knock certain products due to a silicone they turn a blind eye to the much worse chemicals that they put in their hair. Deflecting to my energy (which by the way you would know nothing about) is just another way of not addressing the hypocrisy. :)
Carla M. I’m agreeing with you ma’am. Lol
@@lethalmaximOh my goodness. I'm so extremely sorry. I hope you can accept my apology, because I interpreted your comment totally the wrong way. :(
Yayyyyy💙 couldn’t wait for this review!!!
I appreciate your honest review because I was almost going to purchase some after watching the curl twins! Thank you!
This is a luxury line of natural hair products that you would see in Ulta next to DevaCurl ! I’m here for ittt
Why all the commotion for silicon, it's not that bad?
If you clarify or use a shampoo that has gentle cleansing sulfates, then you can use silicones with little to no problems. Sulfates are the only way to remove them.
Thank you so much for this video! May you please do a video with your recent favorite products, including shampoo/conditioner, stylers, hair masks and oils?
Thank you for your honest review and keepin it real las always!! Please review Innersense Organic Beauty products, they’re pricey but I’ve heard raving reviews about them, pretty pleeessee 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I respect that you're not bullshiting your experience, certain "4C" youtubers will probably pretend it's the perfect product for the check.
Who are you talking about? These products have bad reviews across the board...
Thanks for the video Bianca, you're great! Love your videos!
Just wondering what Tracee Ellis Ross hair care regimen is and what product she uses?
Bianca you slammed it on this video😅😃😀😄
The pattern beauty video on their website kinda discloses. She likes the intensive from what I gather.....
She probably uses high-end lines like Davines or Kerastase. I doubt these celebs use their own stuff.
She actually made a beauty routine video with, I think, Vogue. You can find it on UA-cam
The one I’ve been waiting for!!! 💛
Same, she be giving the honest honest truth
I'm no expert, however in my experience for example, I was in love with a certain product vyears ago. I won't give the name. Anyway my hair would feel so soft and manageable. So much slip it was amazing. But after months of uding that product I started noticing my hair started getting dry and there was so much shedding. I was young and didn't know any better. High School days. Once I started working, I started going to the hair dresser regularly. She is the one that figured out it was the shampoo that I was using. She taught me about silicones costing the hair strands and not allowing any moisture in. This in turn caused the hair to dry out. So I'm guessing that if you are the person that shampoos their hair every other day, water soluble silicones may not be too bad. However if you are the person that shampoos their hair every week or every other week, that's when silicones do the damage. So it just depends on the person and their routine.
With that being said, maybe Pattern will come out with a line that is strictly Sulfate, Paraben and Silicone Free for those of us that may have an issue with those particular ingredients. They have nothing to lose. Just taps into another customer base.
This! This right here ! ...is why I am a loyal subscriber.
That's why I will always follow you! You keep it *real*!
Thank you. I 100% trust that you will always give us the real.
I have been waiting for you to review this product....Thank you for your honest review.
The video I’ve been waiting for.
Thank you for all the reviews. I always pay attention and base most of my purchases on them.
I can share my experience with Pattern beauty . I bought the intensive conditioner for tight coils , leave in and jojoba serum.
My hair is fine and low porosity.
The products gave me no moisture and left particles in my hair meaning it did not absorb.
The only thing I liked is the jojoba hair serum.
I don’t think the products are gear for low porosity fine hair girls like me.
Will be using it with my henna gloss so I can make sure I wash it out completely from my hair.
Bianca!!!!!! Thank you for this!!!! I trust you soooo much when it comes to products for my hair & I definitely appreciate you!
