Curl-Focused Blow Dryers

Tracee Ellis Ross Debuts a New Hair Dryer Under PATTERN Beauty

— January 9, 2023 — Fashion
Actress Tracee Ellis Ross has debuted a new heat tool under her PATTERN Beauty line called the ‘PATTERN Blow Dryer.’ The professional hair tool can be used to dry hair faster after a wash, to achieve that sexy blowout style, or for general styling purposes. The ‘PATTERN Blow Dryer’ boasts an AC professional motor, four curl-focused attachments, and technology that ensures it doesn’t burn or fry your curls.

The PATTERN Diffuser allows consumers to achieve high volume and definition without waiting for their hair to dry, while the wide-tooth comb makes the detangling process easier. ‘The Brush’ helps dry and stretch curls while styling with the blow dryer, and the ‘Concentrator Nozzle’ helps the user concentrate on smaller sections of the scalp.

“[...] I’ve long wanted to reframe our relationship as a community to heat in the past my curls and our coils, and our curls and coils have been burned and fried and beaten into submission by blow dryers and tools that have been designed to strip us of the gorgeous bounce and bends,” said Ross.
