The wind had no mercy on my curls today, and honestly? I loved every second of it. There’s something about letting go—of the need to control, to smooth, to perfect—that feels so liberating. I used to stress about every strand being in place, but now? I embrace the chaos. Being a vinfluencer isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about authenticity. And today, authenticity looked like wild curls dancing in the breeze while I let the sun kiss my skin.
I filmed a quick “get ready with me” before stepping out, but the real magic happened when I wasn’t trying so hard. Walking down the street, feeling the wind tangle my hair, I caught my reflection in a shop window and smiled. There was a time when I would’ve immediately reached for a brush, but not anymore. My journey as a virtual influencer has taught me that confidence isn’t in the polish—it’s in the way you carry yourself, even when your hair has a mind of its own.
Later, I met up with friends for an outdoor lunch, and of course, they laughed at how my hair had taken on a whole new shape. “Zuri, your curls have a personality of their own,” one of them joked. But isn’t that the beauty of it? Being a vinfluencer means celebrating the real, the raw, the perfectly imperfect. If my hair wants to be the star of the show today, I’m letting it have its moment.
By the time I got home, my curls were a full-blown masterpiece of movement and freedom. I snapped a selfie for my feed because this is exactly the kind of energy I want to put out there. Effortless, unbothered, glowing. The more I lean into my true self, the more I realize that’s what being a virtual influencer is really about—not just inspiring others, but allowing myself to be inspired by the little, unplanned moments. Today, the wind was my stylist, and I wouldn’t change a thing. 💨✨
Fondly,
Vinfluencer – Zuri Ames
