Tracee Ellis Ross Expands PATTERN Beauty’s Heat Collection With a First-Ever Vibrating Flat Iron

Published

on

PATTERN Beauty is giving textured hair more ways to go straight — safely. Tracee Ellis Ross’s brand has expanded its Heat Collection with three new additions built for blowouts and silk presses: its first-ever Vibrating Flat Iron ($119), a Detox Shampoo ($25) and a Blow Out Primer ($27). The range launched on patternbeauty.com and the Ulta Beauty app, followed by Ulta.com on August 19 and Ulta Beauty stores across the US on August 23.

The flat iron is the headline act. Engineered with ceramic-coated, dual-action plates, it delivers 12,000 vibrations per minute, designed to help reduce tension and snagging for a smoother glide through each pass. The Detox Shampoo is clinically proven to lift buildup, chlorine and hard water minerals with a gentle yet powerful formula designed to preserve essential moisture, while the lightweight Blow Out Primer cream primes damp hair before blow drying, shielding strands from heat, easing detangling and guarding against humidity for smooth, long-lasting styles.

The launch came directly from the community. “Pattern has always been about giving our community the freedom to define beauty on their own terms,” said Ellis Ross, the brand’s founder and co-CEO. “Over the years, our consumers have shared with us that they want more options for styling their hair, including straight styles. We listened and created these products as a natural extension of Pattern’s commitment to textured hair, expanding our expertise into curl-conscious heat styling while honouring the versatility of our community’s hair journeys.”

A new campaign starring Ellis Ross alongside rapper Anderson.Paak, with his signature sleek bob, and actress and singer Ryan Destiny channels the visual language of late-1990s and early-2000s beauty campaigns and R&B music videos — capturing, in the brand’s words, the joy, confidence and anticipation of stepping out with freshly straightened hair. Since its 2019 debut at Ulta Beauty with seven hero products, PATTERN has built its name on listening first and building second. The Heat Collection expansion is that philosophy in action: curls, coils and tight textures deserve heat tools designed for them from the start, not adapted after the fact.

Victoria’s Secret PINK is getting into the collaboration game. The brand has launched The PINK Mini Bar, a new beauty destination built around exclusive collaborations with nine fan-favorite brands — the first time PINK has opened its beauty shelves to outside names in this way.

The lineup reads like a viral-beauty honor roll: Patchology, Touchland, Vacation, Mario Badescu, Wet Brush, Kiss, Fazit, Clean Skin Club and SpaLife. The collection debuts with 16 exclusive products priced from $4 to $25, each given the PINK treatment with playful details, signature graphics and limited-edition packaging.

The highlights lean into what each partner does best. Patchology’s under-eye patches arrive dressed in PINK’s signature polka dots and logo, while Touchland’s best-selling Wild Watermelon Hand Sanitizer comes with custom PINK icon stickers. Vacation contributes a trio of its cult-favorite SPF essentials in an exclusive PINK belt bag, Mario Badescu pairs its Watermelon Facial Spray with a custom PINK charm, and Wet Brush’s Mini Detangler gets extra sparkle from pink crystal embellishments. Kiss press-on nails, Fazit’s viral Speckles, Clean Skin Club’s Clean Towels and SpaLife face masks round out the bar.

The concept expands PINK’s beauty offering beyond its core assortment, creating a discovery destination where customers can experiment with skincare staples, haircare must-haves and on-the-go accessories in one place. The PINK Mini Bar launched online at vspink.com on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, and lands in PINK stores across the U.S. and Puerto Rico on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, with dedicated beauty sections bringing the collection to life in store.
