More people are embracing their natural hair textures and to embolden even more unapologetic self-expression through wavy and coily styles, göt2b brought curl-powered pop-ups to New York City.
Two interactive experiences launched in July to engage Gen Z and Millennials, and bring awareness to the göt2b Curled collection. First, a humidity-powered Emergency Box popped up in Domino Park in Brooklyn to provide people with an on-the-spot solution for tackling frizz. After solving their frizz-related hair crisis, people could snap and share a shot of their tamed tresses at the Frizz-Free Photo Zone.
Later, the Curl House—a 20-foot branded container—graced the Flatiron District, providing an opportunity for people to get to know the full göt2b Curled collection and treat themselves to complimentary freshly rolled ice cream inspired by different curl patterns.
