I introduced Spill the Tea Tuesday back in November 2024, and if there’s one thing it’s taught me, it’s that nothing gets people talking like a little controversy. Sure, I can post the most satisfying, silky blowout or a scalp facial that looks like pure heaven, and people will love it—but if I really want engagement? All I have to do is ask a hot-button question.

Two of my most viral posts weren’t about hair tips or trends. They were about experiences—real, unfiltered stories that people needed to share. The first? “What’s something a hairstylist did that made you never return?” The second? “What was the final straw that made you quit your toxic salon?” Both of these posts exploded with comments, because let’s be real—everyone has a story.

Why Do We Love to Engage with Controversy?

It’s human nature. People don’t just want to watch content; they want to relate to it. When they see a question that hits close to home, they have to share their experience. It’s part venting, part validation—because nothing feels better than knowing you weren’t alone in that awkward haircut disaster or that toxic salon drama.

Social media thrives on engagement, and nothing drives engagement like strong opinions. If you post a tip like, “Here’s how to make your blowout last longer,” people might save it or like it. But if you ask, “What’s a salon experience you’ll never forget (for all the wrong reasons)?”—the floodgates open.

The Comment Section Phenomenon

The best part? Once people start talking, the comment section turns into its own little universe. Clients swap horror stories, stylists chime in with their side of the industry, and before you know it, the post has taken on a life of its own. Some people come to vent, some to defend, and some just to enjoy the drama.

And let’s be honest—sometimes people just love to complain.

Balancing Engagement & Authenticity

So, does this mean I should only post controversial topics? No. But it does mean there’s power in real conversations. People crave content that makes them feel something—whether it’s validation, shock, or just the satisfaction of spilling a little tea.

At the end of the day, Spill the Tea Tuesday isn’t just about engagement; it’s about connection. It’s about bringing people together through shared experiences—whether it’s a laugh, a cringe, or a collective “OMG, same.” And if a little controversy comes with it? Well, that just makes the tea even hotter.
