How To Achieve A-Lister Braids Using got2b’s Affordable £5.50 Product

Ex-Love Islander Amber Rose Gill wears Doechii-inspired braids for her presenting role at the MOBOs. Hairstylist Stefan Berin gives a rundown on how he created the look using got2b products

Love Islander alum Amber Rose Gill brought the heat to the recent 2025 MOBO Awards as she took centre stage to present the Best Female Act award – sponsored by Official Hair Styling Partner, got2b.

Stylist Stefan Bertin created Doechii-inspired braids with a sleek, gripped finish, using a mix of cult classics and new launches from got2b. Amber served a sleek, sculpted cornrow moment that was equal parts chic and powerful – and we have the inside scoop on how Stefan created her look.

Speaking exclusively to got2b about her look and the night, Amber said, “I was so excited to attend the 2025 MOBO Awards with got2b, the Official Hair Styling Partner, and present the Best Female Act category. My go-to products, GLUED 4 Brows & Edges and Blasting Freeze Hairspray, were essential for achieving my look, not to mention the brand-new GLUED Wax Stick – wow! Thank you got2b for always making me feel my absolute best!”

Stefan revealed he used a lineup of got2b’s most iconic styling products to deliver this braided masterpiece, built to last all night long.

Here’s how Stefan created Amber’s look exclusively using got2b:

👩🏽 Prep the hair – The key for mastering cornrows is all in the preparation – Amber prefers not to have heat on her hair so we didn’t blow-dry it, but we did make sure it was detangled thoroughly and still slightly damp. For Amber Rose’s look I prepped by using a pea-sized dollop of the got2b gotGLOSS Shine Primer (£7) which is enriched with shea butter to keep hair moisturised, shiny, and tangle free. I also applied a few pumps of the got2b Oil-Licious Styling & Care Oil to nourish the ends and reduce frizz.

✨ Part and braid – Then I parted Amber Rose’s hair using a comb to create even sections, starting from the forehead and going to the nape of the neck. Before starting the braids, I used the new got2bGlued Wax Stick (£6) at the root of her hair to hold it in place.

🔐 Lock it down – Once the braids were done, I added a generous amount of the got2b Glued Blasting Freeze Hairspray (£7) to secure them. This is my go-to styling hairspray – it has super strong hold so I know hair will stay in place until taken out, and it is great for all hair types.

🌟 Edge control perfection – Finally, to complete the look for the 2025 MOBO Awards, I used the got2b Glued 2 in 1 Gel for Brows & Edges (£6). The fast-drying gel has an easy-to-use two-sided fibre brush which is great for securing all loose strands, which makes it perfect for the precise application needed for cornrows. Excitingly, it now comes in a tinted variant as well which is great for achieving buildable, smudge-proof colour that lasts up to 24-hours.
