Meet GLAMOUR's October cover star, Tracee Ellis Ross: 'I had a contentious relationship with beauty. It didn't make space for me'

– for 3B to 4C curls – Tracee talks to Lynette Nylander about how after decades of the beauty industry “specifically leaving me out and not celebrating me”, she has come to a place of self-acceptance., I mean, look at my mother!” laughs Tracee Ellis Ross, speaking on the phone from Los Angeles. “I look back on photographs of myself when I was young [with big hair] and I think gosh, I took the long route to get back there.

Pattern is very much inspired by Tracee’s personal relationship with beauty. “I went through those teenage years when everybody is searching to figure out who they are and all of a sudden become so aware of how they look, how they are seen, what’s cool, what’s in,” Tracee sighs. While she was inspired by the women around her – including her mother – she adds: “Sadly, there were not a tonne of images, outside of my family, of people who looked like me.

This, explains Tracee, began her “contentious relationship with the culture of beauty that was around me, but didn’t make space for me. As a result, I tried to beat my hair into submission to do what I thought it should do. I straightened it, I dyed it, I fried it.
