Hijabi Influencers: Who You Should Be Following

Miriam Benzari

Where do you get your news? Where are you shopping for all the latest trends? If you answered social media, you are definitely a Millennial or in the Generation Z category, or possibly even a Gen Xer! According to a newly published Pew Research Center report, 55% of U.S. adults now get their news from social media either "often" or “sometimes.” Reading a newspaper is old fashioned to most. Why go out and spend money on a newspaper or magazine when you can just pick up your phone and scroll down your Meta (Facebook), Twitter, or Instagram timeline?


As a social media consumer, ask yourself what you want from your influencers? If you are into beauty, lifestyle, and fashion, you should follow influencers that you can grow from as well as give you tips on what is always trending. A decade ago, the influencer market was non-exist; now, the influencer market is on the rise, and major brands are paying attention and are endorsing your favorite trend setters. 

What is an influencer? An influencer is someone in a specific industry with sway over their target audience. Influencers have specialized knowledge, authority, or insight into a specific subject. Their pre-existing presence in a niche makes them a useful launching pad for brands in search of credibility. 

We all have our go-to influencers we like to follow for all of our personal needs, whether that be fashion, cooking, or even beauty hacks and trends. But what hijabi influencers are you following to know where to buy your hijabs from? Where to shop for the best Muslim makeup brands, or what healthy lifestyle tips you should follow?
