What Are The Most Popular Selfie Hashtags?
Here’s your overall top 20 trending hashtags for selfies.
#selfies, #selfietime,#selfiesunday, #selfienation, #selfiequeen,#selfiesaturday, #selfiestick, #selfiee, #selfiegram, #selfiesfordays, #selfieaddict, #selfielove, #selfiegirl, #selfieday, #selfieking, #selfiegamestrong, #selfiemode, #selfieee, #selfiegame, #selfiemania
Now, let’s get specific. When you want to emphasize the “when” of your selfie:
#selfieoftheday #selfieonathursday #selfiesaturday #selfiesunday #selfiefriday #selfiemonday #selfiesfordays #selfienow #selfieday
When you want to let your audience know how you took your pic by calling out the equipment you used:
#selfieremote #selfiegopro #selfiestick #selfiemirror
When you’re proud of your selfie and ready to take on the world:
#selfieonfleek #selfieexpert #selfiequeen #selfiegamestrong #selfieking
When you are sick of the word selfie (me, right now) and don’t want to use the word selfie (ahh, again!) in your hashtag:
#selfportrait #selfshot #faceoftheday #photooftheday #picoftheday #selfietime #instapic #myself #portrait #pose #self
But, Here’s The Real Tea
Those ultra-popular, top selfie hashtags aren’t going to necessarily help you. Oh that’s right, Ashley, it’s called you’ve been living a lie. The most used tags are not the most searched tags. Because so many people use them, it’s harder to stand out. Using popular selfie hashtags doesn’t mean that people are more likely to tap on that tag or search for it.
People might even be less likely to find your gorgeous mug, ❤ your post, follow your account, and turn you into a globe-prancing influencer if you’re using only generic hashtags for selfies. So…
How Do You Get Your Selfie Noticed With Hashtags?
Go niche. Don’t be chicken and rice, be chicken tikka masala on a porcelain dish (yes, it’s the second food reference of this article, I’m sorry, my fridge is empty and it’s lunchtime). Instead of using the most popular Instagram hashtags, find and use selfie hashtags that are more niche to engage an audience that’s more relevant to you in some way. They could be related to your location (#selfieinparis,) describe what you’re doing in the photo (#boredatworkselfie, #selfiewithmom) or connected to your skills and interests (#selfiestyle, #crossfitselfie).
You’re more likely to get followers from niche hashtags than generic ones, since your selfie will be more accessible. People won’t have to scroll miles to find your post, and your chances to be featured on Instagram’s hashtag search page for that hashtag are higher.

As we mentioned above, it’s not enough to just use the most popular selfie hashtags on Instagram: you can drill down a lot more and probably get more eyeballs for your selfies if you get more specific:

Is that so wrong? I don’t think so. Try multiple angles in the mirror for a cool effect and post that bad boy on Instagram with these hashtags:

Day of the week selfie hashtags
Look, I love posting on Instagram as much as the next person, but dang. It takes a lot of creative juice to come up with cool posts, let alone interesting photography hashtags.
You want to post more often because it’s great at staying top-of-mind for all of your followers. But let’s be honest: nobody wants to see the same.old.selfie every day. You’ve got to jazz stuff up, and that means posting something different every damn day.
What’s a selfie kween to do? I’ve got you covered: use these hashtags as prompts for daily posts to get more views.
Sunday Selfie Hashtags
Some people are all about #lazysundays, while other people feel the #sundayscaries. How do you feel about Sundays? How do you usually spend your last day of the weekend? Take a pic of whatever you’re up to and label it with the right hashtag for your #sundayfeels:
- #sundayfunday
- #sundaysweat
- #stayhomesunday
- #sundayscaries
- #lazysundays
- #sundayfeels
- #selfiesunday
Monday Selfie Hashtags
Yeah, Monday gets a bad rap, but it’s kind of deserved. Few people actually like Mondays, so treat this as a chance to give your followers something cool to look at. Try alliterative hashtags like #makeupmonday to make themed posts every Monday. Or you can always throw a classic #mondaymood if you’re not feeling too chipper yourself:
You dragged yourself out of bed and actually managed to do all the things—on a Monday, no less. You’re basically superhuman, so take a Monday selfie to commemorate your achievements and make your friends fear your #adulting prowess:
- #mondaymantra
- #mondaymotivation
- #mondaymood
- #mondayblues
- #mondayfunday
- #mondaymemories
- #mondaymadness
- #mindfulmonday
- #manicmonday
- #mancrushmonday (#mcm)
- #musicmonday
- #happymonday
- #mondaymotivation
Tuesday Selfie Hashtags

- #goodnewstues
- #tuesdayvibes
- #tuesdaythoughts
- #tuesdaymood
- #tacotuesday

- #thankfulthursday
- #thirstythursday
- #thursdayvibes
- #thursdaythoughts
- #thursdaymood

A few final tips for selfie hashtags for Instagram
Okay, so you can pick some of the best selfie hashtags in the world, but if you don’t use them in the right way, you won’t get anywhere. Make sure you follow these tips to master selfie hashtags for Instagram.
- Know the limits: Yes, Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post, but with great power comes great responsibility. Actually, you don’t have to cram 30 hashtags into your posts: most people say 11 is ideal, anyway.
- Choose relevant hashtags: Look, viral hashtags can get you more views, but Instagram doesn’t like irrelevant hashtags. After all, if you’re looking for posts about #hair and see spammy pics about cars, you aren’t going to trust Instagram. Only use relevant hashtags so you can stay on Instagram’s good side.
- Add hashtags as a comment: Not a fan of overloading your Instagram caption with hashtags? Just add those bad boys as a comment. Publish your post like normal without the hashtags and then drop them into the comments section afterward. (People will still be able to find your post, don’t worry.)
- Use trending hashtags: Want to tap into trending topics? Look for trending hashtags in your niche with Instagram’s search bar. Add a topic to start and see which hashtags Instagram recommends. It will usually do this by the number of posts using a certain hashtag, which means it’s probably a popular hashtag that gets a lot of traffic.
- Find related hashtags you might have missed: Don’t feel paranoid about missing a hashtag in your niche. When you search for a hashtag, Instagram will display related hashtags right next to it. It’s the perfect way to discover new hashtags or ones you might have previously overlooked.
- See which hashtags other people are using: What hashtags are your friends (or frenemies) using on Instagram? Don’t let other people outdo you here. Snoop around a little to swipe a few clever hashtags from your network. As long as you don’t copy-paste their hashtags verbatim, a little hashtag #recon is okay.
- Check Instagram Insights: Okay, this is only for the folks with Instagram Business profiles. But if you have a Business profile, make sure you check Insights. This will tell you which hashtags have brought in the most views for your profile. If a hashtag isn’t pulling its weight, remove it from your list and replace it with a new one.
The Bottom Line for Selfie Hashtags:
You can use up to 30 hashtags on an Instagram post, so why not use a combo of niche + generic selfie hashtags to cover all bases? Give context to your selfie and attract new followers. Before you bust out your iPhone and hashtag your selfie away, here’s a few last selfie hashtag tips:
