PATTERN Hydration Shampoo for Curly Hair 3a–4c, 25 fl oz — Honey, Aloe & 10-Oil Moisture Blend

This Hydration Shampoo from PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross combines honey, aloe vera, biotin and tea tree leaf oil with a blend of 10 nourishing oils to gently cleanse textured hair without stripping natural moisture. Designed for curl patterns 3a through 4c, the formula produces a soft lather that lifts dirt and product residue while leaving hair feeling hydrated and manageable. It's color-safe and crafted to support dry, porous curls that need both cleansing and conditioning benefits.

How does this shampoo clean curls without drying them out?

The creamy formulation balances effective surfactants with emollient oils so it lifts buildup but maintains hydration. Ingredients like honey and aloe vera help retain moisture while the oil blend creates a protective slip to reduce friction during washing.

• Soft lather that removes dirt and product residue
• Blend of 10 oils including coconut, olive, avocado and sweet almond oil
• Humectants such as honey and aloe to support moisture retention
• Formulated to avoid over-stripping fragile curl patterns

Will PATTERN Hydration Shampoo work on my type of curls?

Yes — it’s specially made for 3B–4C curl textures, addressing common needs like dryness and buildup. The formula is gentle enough for tighter coils while providing enough slip for looser curls to detangle and rinse clean.

• Suitable for 3a through 4c curl patterns
• Helps reduce tangling and improve manageability
• Color-safe for dyed textured hair
• Balances cleansing power with protective oils for varied curl porosity

What key ingredients are in the shampoo and why do they matter?

Primary functional ingredients include honey and aloe for hydration, biotin to support hair strength, and tea tree leaf oil for a fresh scalp feel. The ten-oil blend adds nourishing lipids that smooth the cuticle and help retain moisture between washes.

• Honey & aloe vera — humectant hydration and soothing
• Biotin — supports resilient hair structure
• Tea tree leaf oil — clarifies and refreshes the scalp
• 10 nourishing oils (coconut, olive, avocado, sweet almond, etc.) — moisture, softness, and slip

How should I use PATTERN Hydration Shampoo for best results?

Apply a small amount to wet hair and massage gently into the scalp to lift buildup, then rinse thoroughly. For full hydration, follow with a PATTERN conditioner or mask tailored to your curl needs.

• Wet hair thoroughly before applying
• Focus the massage on the scalp and roots to remove buildup
• Rinse well and follow with a conditioner or deep treatment
• Adjust frequency based on oiliness and product use

Who is this for: PATTERN Hydration Shampoo is aimed at people with natural textured hair—especially those with 3a to 4c curls—who want a gentle yet effective cleanser that preserves moisture. It fits curl routines that include leave-in conditioners, stylers, and periodic clarifying, and works well for color-treated hair or anyone seeking softer, more manageable curls after washing.
