Confession time: I barely know how to use a curling iron. The last time I curled my hair was senior year of high school. These days, I fully embrace my type 3 curls in all their volume and inconsistency, simply applying leave-in conditioner and diffusing before running out the door. Why would I need a wand when I already have a head full of curls?
But when Tracee Ellis Ross' haircare brand PATTERN, which makes products specifically for curls, came out with a curling iron, I was intrigued. I got my hands on the iron—and spoke to Ross herself—to find out why I, someone with naturally curly hair, should add it to my routine.
