Everyday it feels like yet another product launches, and to be quite honest, a lot of them miss the mark. A solid roll out and marketing campaign is one thing, but whether or not a product is actually worth adding to cart is quite another—especially in this damn economy. So when PATTERN hit us up to test their newest launch: The Repair 360 Leave-In Foam, we were all in. 

The product boasts several claims, including bond repair through a blend of vegan proteins and amino acids, and heat protection up to 450°F, all while not weighing the hair down. Additionally, it pairs nicely with PATTERN’s newly re-launched hair steamer. Sounds good, right? But we’re not so easily convinced these days. 

With three different hair types, textures, and styling methods, three ESSENCE editors and I came together to give PATTERN’s Repair 360 Leave-In Foam a try. Here are our honest reviews. 

 noting that the foam could be a great addition paired with the steamer and publish on Monday 2/2 in tandem with the steamer relaunching on Saturday.
