HJ’s Top 10 Instagram Reels of 2023

Published 18th Dec 2023 by Chlo Weldon

We loved checking out the amazing Instagram reels you shared with us this year. From colour transformations and creative cuts, to hairdressing hacks and every day feels, it was great to see your talent in action – and the fun you and your teams have between appointments! So, here’s HJ’s top 10 most popular Instagram reels of 2023, that our followers viewed, liked and shared the most…

10.

In at number 10, we have the TikTok trending hair hack of using a metal sieve as a diffuser. And while this reel seemed to get your attention, it’s safe to say it did in fact ruffle a few feathers. We get it – you don’t want to pick up the pieces of damaged hair!

9.

In at number nine, we have this foxy colour creation. Of course, this stunning colour combo was well loved by everyone.

8.

Next up, we have this bob transformation. And seeing as 2023 has been the year of bob’s and shorter styles, we’re not surprised!

Bob's are also set to be big in 2024, check out the top five most wanted bob hairstyles for 2024 here.

7.

In seventh place, we have this amazing creation. And yes those birds are alive and well, and love their hairy braid cage!

6.

In at number six is feather partings, adding that little pop of colour and detail to a sleek updo.

5.

For number five, we have hairdresser’s every day feels of playing detective to figure out what your clients actually mean. We know a few of you relate to this!

4.

Coming in fourth is this stunning (and very satisfying) glitter updo – party season hair at an all-new level.

3.

Third on the list is a decision for the pros. Do you think you would have taken the same approach as the hairdresser in this reel?

2.

In second place, we have this edgy mullet transformation. We couldn’t get enough, and it seems you couldn’t either.

1.

And taking the number one spot is this reel repost from Stã Studios! Sorry AI, nobody can do hair better than hairdressers.
