The tactic was to find a celebrity's tagged stylist, go to the stylist's page, DM them or find their email, and send product — if the hairstylist (the professional who knows what's good for the hair) likes it, they'll use it on their celebrity. Some celebrities posted about it and some didn't, which Floriye says is fine. She frames it as just being authentic: writing a nice message talking about who you are and what your brand is, and not expecting those opportunities to come.
