PATTERN Amplifies its Commitment with New Launches

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — PATTERN and Tracee Ellis Ross are, once again, disrupting the industry with the expansion of their coveted Treatment Collection and the launch of their first song, LEGACY by PATTERN. Doubling down on the brand’s commitment to creating space for empowering authentic beauty, and further building upon the brand’s mission to uplift the natural hair community, the newly curated collection and the unique musical celebration were designed to elevate the ritual around caring for curly, coily & tightly textured hair.

LISTEN
Grounded in, and centered around, the celebration of Black culture, PATTERN now invites consumers to engage with the brand in a different and even deeper way via both the launch of LEGACY and the newly expanded collection. LEGACY is a musical celebration of Black heritage, values and community. “This song and these lyrics celebrate the ritual of Black hair care as self-care and reminds us that our hair is monumental and precious, connecting us to our legacy,” said Ross. “This release brings PATTERN’s mission to life both visually, lyrically, and poetically. I’m excited for everyone to see this campaign.” Listen Now: https://traceeellisross.lnk.to/Legacy

PROTECT
Introducing the newest PATTERN treatment essentials created to infuse innovative luxury into traditional hair care rituals with three new everyday essentials indulging in efficacy and elegance.

PATTERN Transition Mask…for when your strands crave support.
The new PATTERN Transition Mask nurtures growing hair specifically during the critical time of transitioning from a relaxer to natural hair. Infused with nutrient-dense natural ingredients like White Tea to help reduce shedding, and Manuka Honey to help prevent breakage while maintaining moisture balance, the ground-breaking mask is formulated precisely for transitioning out chemical straighteners, like Brazilian straightening to relaxers, and fortifying strands after protective styling. (11 fl oz, $25)

PATTERN Satin Cap…for when hair needs a rest.
Even the finest cotton pillowcases can be hard on hair, which is why proper TLC is essential during downtime. Made of luxe, double-lined satin, the PATTERN Satin Cap protects curls from friction, minimizes breakage, and helps hair retain moisture overnight. It features a soft, yet snug elastic band that protects edges and baby hairs from damage, making it ideal for short coils. The new satin cap helps preserve a variety of hairstyles, including rod sets, protective styles, pin curls, wash and gos, afros, and beyond. ($22)

LIMITED EDITION: PATTERN Tortoise Hair Pick…a new spin on a classic.
Amp up the volume and elongate coils to create the style of your dreams with the newest hair tool. A must-have for curlies, coilies and tight textures, the new limited-edition PATTERN Tortoise Hair Pick features the same endless versatility as the original Hair Pick—now in a gorgeous, vanity-dazzling design. The multitasking tool makes it easy to create a wide range of luxurious styles. ($15)

PATTERN Beauty formulas, tools & accessories are carefully crafted to revolutionize the unique, individual hair care routines of the community, and has been recognized with some of the beauty industry’s most prestigious accolades including two Allure of Best of Beauty wins in 2020 and 2021. Most recently, Tracee’s work for the brand was lauded by WWD, who named her 2021 Changemaker of the Year. “Pride in our legacy and heritage as Black people is behind every product we create,” says PATTERN founder and award-winning actress Tracee Ellis Ross.

Available on patternbeauty.com and Sephora in stores and online beginning February 18, 2022.
LEGACY by PATTERN featuring Tracee Ellis Ross will be available on https://patternbeauty.com/legacy-song and streaming platforms beginning February 18, 2022.

Full-Figured Flings Teaser Nears 10K Views – Director of Photography Offers Special Father’s Day Release

Back 2 the Basics Production Management Group is proud to announce the official teaser premiere for FFF: Full-Figured Flings, a bold and unapologetic new film celebrating full-figured women and challenging the norms of beauty in Hollywood. Clocking in at just 46 seconds, the teaser doesn’t waste a moment, delivering a powerful visual and emotional punch that sets the tone for a project rooted in body positivity, size inclusivity, and cultural truth.

Premiering ahead of the 20th anniversary of Phat Girlz (2006), FFF serves as both homage and evolution. The film expands the conversation around colorism, sizeism, and shapeism, spotlighting women who have often been cast aside, sidelined, or silenced.

“This teaser is more than a preview—it’s a declaration,” said Lillie Mae Jones, creator and producer. “FFF is our love letter to the women who’ve never been centered but have always been essential. We’re not just telling stories—we’re shifting the lens.”

FFF: Full-Figured Flings is currently in development as a non-union independent production, with plans to release in 2026. The film invites audiences and allies to follow, support, and amplify the message through community engagement, open casting calls, and creative collaborations—including the launch of a nationwide call for a “Big Girl Anthem” to serve as the film’s official theme song.

Accept the Challenge…

The buzz is building fast around the highly anticipated full-figured fashion experience FFF, and now there’s a challenge on the table that fans won’t want to miss.

After racking up 11,000 views in less than 10 days, the official teaser video for FFF on YouTube is quickly gaining momentum. And now, the film’s Director of Photography, Dominique Perry, has thrown down a bold offer:

“If we hit 20,000 views before Saturday, June 14th, I’ll drop an exclusive second teaser on Father’s Day.”

This is more than a film—it’s a movement. FFF is a high-fashion, high-impact visual celebration of full-figured women taking a stand for representation, inclusion, and power on and off the runway.

Here’s how you can help make it happen: Watch the teaser now on YouTube. Like, comment, and subscribe. Share it with your community and post why YOU stand in solidarity with full-figured women
