Top-performing posts

The three posts pulling the most engagement in the last 90 days.

02

Content pillars

AI-clustered themes the account posts about, with example posts pulled live from Instagram.

  1. 01

    Curly Hair Education

    40.00%

    Tutorials, styling processes, and product demos aimed at curly-haired Tunisian women. Works because it solves a real problem and pairs visual transformation with practical tips, making it highly shareable and saveable.

  2. 02

    Curly Hair Identity

    25.00%

    Emotional storytelling and self-acceptance narratives around embracing natural curls. Works because it taps into a common insecurity among North African women and invites comment-section confessions.

  3. 03

    Day-in-the-Life Vlog

    18.00%

    Casual spend-the-day-with-me reels showing student life, trips to Kerkennah, and weekend outings. Works because it builds parasocial familiarity and gives context to the creator beyond hair content.

  4. 04

    Life Milestones & Dumps

    12.00%

    Carousels marking personal moments like graduation, birthdays, and Eid. Works as a trust signal that humanises the account, though engagement on these posts is inconsistent.

  5. 05

    Transformation Reveal

    5.00%

    Before-and-after reels showing a hair transition, typically straight to curly or a dramatic styling change. Works because the payoff frame drives replays and shares.

Strategy summary

What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.

TL;DR

The single strongest lever for @ines_hili is the transformation reel format. Post 9 (curly-to-straight reveal) pulled 1,007 likes, post 8 (celebrity total look) hit 526, and post 1 (Kerkennah reel) reached 532, all while the account average sits closer to 150 likes. That gap is not luck, it is format. High-drama visual payoffs consistently outperform talking-head or static carousels by 3 to 6x on this feed.

The biggest leak is posting frequency. 1.2 posts per week is roughly 60% below the 3-per-week benchmark for the curly hair niche, meaning the account loses algorithmic momentum between posts. Several high-potential pillars like the Arabic-language self-acceptance series (posts 15, 21, 22) show strong comment depth but appear too infrequently to build a loyal sub-audience. Carousel engagement is also wildly uneven: graduation posts 0 and 5 pulled strong numbers, but lifestyle dumps 4, 10, 13, 25, 29 landed at 3 likes each, signaling that low-effort photo dumps are diluting the feed.

The account has a clear cultural niche (Tunisian curly women) and a bilingual voice that feels authentic. The next move is to systematize what already works.

Working

5
  • Transformation reels (posts 9, 8, 1) consistently deliver 500 to 1000 likes, far above account average.
  • Arabic-dialect captions with a direct CTA (posts 15, 21, 22) generate the highest comment counts relative to reach.
  • Spend-the-day vlogs (posts 26, 27) build consistent mid-range engagement and personal connection.
  • The #tunisiancurlygirl niche tag keeps the account visible to a targeted, underserved audience.
  • Celebrity or character-inspired look reels tap trending interest and earn shares beyond the core follower base.

Risks

5
  • Posting cadence is too low at 1.2 per week. Doubling to at least 3 per week would compound reach meaningfully.
  • Low-effort carousel dumps (posts 4, 10, 13, 25, 29) all landed at 3 likes and should be cut or reworked into reels.
  • Hooks in reel titles are vague on several posts (post 7 'Tutorial look', post 11). Add a specific promise or outcome.
  • No consistent posting schedule is visible in the timestamps, making it hard for followers to anticipate new content.
  • Comments are often left unanswered, missing easy opportunities to boost reach through reply activity.

Ship next

5
  • Batch-produce 3 transformation reels per month using the curly reveal format that drove post 9 to 1007 likes.
  • Commit to a fixed schedule of Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday posts between 6 and 9pm to rebuild algorithmic consistency.
  • Turn the Arabic self-acceptance series into a recurring weekly format with a consistent visual template and CTA.
  • Replace low-engagement lifestyle dumps with short behind-the-scenes reels using the spend-the-day-with-me hook.
  • Add a save-worthy carousel once per week with curly hair tips in Arabic to build a searchable archive and drive saves.
