Chloe was super excited
Chloe was super excited to learn she came in as the number 1 influencer. She says: “I’m so pleased and genuinely surprised to have landed the top spot at the NHBF Top 100 Influencer Index! As it’s ranked with social stats and analytics, you never know which way it will go when the rankings are announced. I was just hoping for a place in the top 5! I’ve been lucky enough to be in the top 20 for the last 2 years – #9 in 2021 and #13 in 2022. This year I really focused on posting 6 days a week consistently across 3 platforms, sharing hair styling tutorials and tips for both professionals and consumers. Thank you NHBF for the #1 spot, I can’t wait for the year ahead!”
