The importance of personality and sharing well-researched knowledge outweighs the value of viral content. In this second part of Rei’s talk with trichologist and content creator Angela Onuoha, we hear about her daily routine, the strategic choices behind her content creation, and how she balances authenticity with platform algorithms. Angela breaks down her structured yet flexible schedule, emphasizing the importance of planning and adaptability in a fast-paced digital world. The conversation offers unique insights on maintaining authenticity, the challenges of content creation on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, and her aspirations for the future, using her expertise to demystify hair care science.
Angela is the most established and well-known trichologist and Cosmetic Chemist within the creator space. Her advocation for diversity has made her a true force for good within the beauty industry.
Angela isn’t just an influencer, she is an educator who is leading input into efficacious formulations and the importance of ingredients. She is working with the globe’s leading hair care brands, advising on product diversity and launching new innovations through her own channels. As a half Nigerian, half Dutch woman who has unfortunately experienced racism first-hand, Angela has been on a journey of self-acceptance, and is on a mission to empower and inspire others.
