Favorite PATTERN Product
The styling cream is hands down my favorite product from PATTERN! My hair absolutely loves this! It is thick, creamy & very moisturizing. I use it on my mini twists in combination with the curl gel & my results are perfect.

So moisturizing!

"The styling cream is one of my favorite stylers I reach for it all the time. It has a soft hold and is super moisturizing. I hate a crunchy hold for my curls. If you’re looking for a soft and moisturizing hold this is it!"

— Shania B. (5/5)

Q&A

I do wash and gos a lot. Should I use the styling cream after the leave in conditioner or the gel?
Hey Curlfriend! We would recommend using the styling cream after the leave-in conditioner but before the strong hold gel. This would offer a bit more hold to prolong your achieved style.
Hi there! is the styling cream also vegan? Thank you! xoxo
Yes, it is!
My teen is in LOVE with these products! She’s used to using gel for her natural look. What’s the difference in what the gel will do vs the styling cream?
It depends on your desired hairstyle. The styling cream is great for twist outs, braid outs, and Bantu knots. It is extremely moisturizing and provides a touchable hold. The curl gel defines curls and is great to use for wash-&-gos.
