SD: Your Instagram page beautifully combines haircare, fashion, and lifestyle. How do you strike a balance between these niches while keeping your content cohesive?
Zarpash: It’s definitely a challenge, but I strive to make it feel natural and authentic. My focus is always on creating content my audience enjoys and finds valuable. By prioritizing their interests—whether it’s haircare tips, fashion inspiration, or lifestyle moments—I ensure my content flows seamlessly across all niches.
SD: Haircare is a prominent feature of your content. What inspired you to focus on it, and how do you keep your audience engaged with fresh ideas?
Zarpash: When I first started my account, my hair received a lot of attention, and I would get countless queries about haircare. It became overwhelming to respond to everyone individually, so I decided to start creating dedicated haircare content. To keep things fresh, I constantly experiment with new formats and frequently interact with my audience to understand what resonates most with them.
SD: Fashion is constantly evolving. How do you stay updated with trends while maintaining your unique style?
Zarpash: I take inspiration from Pinterest, stylists, fashion influencers, and a few celebrities whose style I admire. I then merge those ideas with my personal style, creating a blend that feels fresh yet uniquely mine.
SD: What do you think makes your content relatable to your audience? Can you share a moment or post that struck a chord with them?
Zarpash: My authenticity stands out—I stay attuned to what’s happening in our society and genuinely connect with my audience’s emotions and experiences. This relatability translates into my content. Many of my haircare reels and Q&A sessions have gone viral, showing how much my followers connect with those topics.
SD: Social media is ever-changing. How do you handle the pressure of staying relevant?
Zarpash: Honestly, I don’t let the pressure get to me. I avoid the rat race and focus on what works for me. Staying true to my journey and going with the flow has been my approach.
SD: Can you walk us through your creative process, from brainstorming ideas to publishing a post or reel?
Zarpash: My ideas often come from everyday experiences, current trends, and feedback from my followers. Once I have an idea, I conceptualize it in a way that reflects my personality and aligns with my brand. High-quality visuals are a must for me, so I ensure every post or reel is polished and visually appealing before publishing.
SD: Haircare and lifestyle tips often involve debunking myths. What’s one common misconception you’ve challenged through your content?
Zarpash: Two major myths I’ve addressed are: first, the belief that braiding your hair helps it grow—it doesn’t. Second, the idea that posting consistently is the only way to increase reach. I don’t subscribe to that notion; quality always trumps quantity.
SD: Your content radiates positivity and authenticity. How do you maintain that energy, even on tough days?
Zarpash: It comes down to discipline. I don’t let my emotions control my actions. By staying committed to my goals, I push through challenges and ensure I stay productive no matter what.
SD: Collaborations are pivotal in digital content creation. How do you decide which brands or people to partner with?
Zarpash: I’m very selective with collaborations. I only work with brands or individuals that align with my values and resonate with my audience. Collaborating solely for freebies doesn’t appeal to me. It’s essential that both parties genuinely benefit from the collaboration.
