Day in the Life: Get ready with me

Easily one of the most fun trends to come out of TikTok storytelling has been the “Get Ready With Me” (GRWM) video. I don’t know how I became so captivated by watching others get ready for work, dates, or menial tasks but I have. And it makes perfect sense. When we are constant witnesses to our own routines, sometimes it’s fun to be a witness to how others do it differently or how they do it the same.

I personally love seeing how somebody from a different job gets ready and what kind of tricks they might have. And it’s so exciting to watch chaotically created GRWM where time is working against the creator. Will they finish their hair and makeup on time?! Who knows! But I’m just happy to be there for the ride.

As a stylist or hair care professional, using the GRWM format can be incredibly insightful and fun for your clients or fellow professionals. How do you figure out your fit before going into work? What kind of makeup look do you go for before a long day at the salon? How do you get your work station ready for a day of bleaching someone’s black hair into blonde? The possibilities are endless but surely your viewers would find the fun in it all.

Similar to the Get Ready with Me, the ‘Day in the Life’ TikTok is another chance to get a glimpse into someone else’s life. It’s a chance to see how the viewer and creator do things the same or different. But a day in the life takes the experience a step further and you’re no longer peeking into one routine, but multiple. I love vicariously living through the 5 am workout girlies just as much as I love living vicariously through the bottle girls who don’t rise until 12pm after a 4am bedtime. How does everyone fit their daily activities into their active hours of the day?

I personally love seeing ways that we are all living the same life, because are others as dramatic as me throughout their everyday happenings? Are you getting the same amount of caffeine doses? This is another clear way that hair care professionals and those in the industry can be engaging with their content. Take your followers into your day-to-day life, and show them what they don’t know about the work that you do.
