To use these templates, simply copy your favorite prompt and post it to your community platform. Add a relevant photo or emoji if you like, then encourage everyone to comment with their guesses. After some time, follow up with the answer and celebrate creative or correct responses. Rotate through different types of guessing games to keep things fresh and involve members of all experience levels.
Since these templates are designed for all platforms, tailor each post to match your platform's style. Use engaging visuals on Instagram or Facebook, add polls or quizzes where possible, and encourage quick replies on chat-based platforms like Discord or WhatsApp. Always monitor responses and keep the conversation light and positive.
To engage both beginners and seasoned professionals, choose a mix of foundational techniques (like blunt cutting or feathering) and advanced methods (such as balayage application or precision undercutting). Provide context clues in your posts—like tool close-ups or partial photos—so everyone can participate, and consider rotating difficulty levels across posts.
Post a 'before' image and let members guess which color, cut, or styling technique was used for the 'after.' You can hint at specific challenges, like color correction from box dye or smoothing a curly texture, to make the guessing more industry-relevant and spark technical discussion.
Regularly update your templates to spotlight trending techniques such as vivid color melts or peekaboo highlights. Feature close-ups or in-progress shots, and ask members to guess the trend or method. This keeps your group up-to-date and encourages stylists to share knowledge about new trends.
Encourage respectful discussion by reminding members that multiple products or methods can achieve similar results. Use your answer post to share the exact products or techniques used, such as 'Olaplex No.3 for strength' or 'razor texturizing,' and invite members to share their alternative approaches.
Feature lesser-known or specialized tools such as double-pronged color brushes, micro crimpers, or vented blow-dry clips. Use partial images or in-action shots, and ask members to guess both the tool and its specific use, such as 'balayage board for freehand highlights.'
Yes, using celebrity looks works well if you focus on dissecting the professional techniques behind them. Present a red carpet image and ask members to guess the methods or products used to achieve the style (e.g., 'glass hair finish with serum and flat iron'), fostering skill-building and trend analysis.
