Got2b

What Got2b does

Got2b is a mass-market hair styling and coloration brand that designs, manufactures, and sells a broad portfolio of haircare products including gels, styling creams, waxes, hairsprays, mousses, styling powders, dry shampoos, heat protection sprays, shine sprays, and brow/edge styling gels. Products are formulated with vegan ingredients and high percentages (70-99%) of naturally derived components, packaged in recyclable aluminum cans and recycled plastic bottles. The brand operates under Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, a publicly listed German multinational headquartered in Düsseldorf, and distributes through general retail, pharmacy, and e-commerce channels across the Americas (USA), Europe (since 2004), and Asia Pacific (since 2007).

The brand differentiates through a co-creation model in which products are developed collaboratively with handpicked consumers and fans rather than professional models or influencers, marketed as the first co-created mass-market brand. It maintains two principal sub-brands: the Glued line for ultra-strong hold styling products (spiking gels, blasting freeze hairsprays, brow gels) and the Curlz line for naturally wavy, curly, and coily hair types with defining jellies, mousses, styling creams, and detanglers. Product features include up to 96-hour anti-frizz hold, heat protection up to 230°C, and break-resistance claims for the Curlz range. The NaviLens accessibility technology is integrated into packaging to support visually impaired consumers by reading product information aloud in 54 languages from up to 3 meters away.

Got2b's business model is a one-time-purchase consumer goods model targeting primarily Gen Z and Gen Alpha consumers, with secondary focus on the LGBTQIA+ community and consumers with textured hair. Revenue is generated through retail and e-commerce sales without disclosed pricing transparency. Marketing is executed through organic social channels (Instagram, TikTok), event sponsorships (MOBO Awards 2026), and purpose-driven partnerships with Ditch The Label (anti-cyberbullying) and ILGA Europe (LGBTQIA+ advocacy), plus an interactive presence on the ROBLOX gaming platform. Brand-level marketing and management headcount is reported at 11-50 employees, with operational scale provided through Henkel's parent infrastructure.
