Background
Kirsten Rachael Haddox was born on January 7th, 2000. Although born in America, she is one of the first generations of her family to have moved from their homeland, Germany. Most of her family originated from East Prussia, and fled to America due to the crucial food shortages after the World Wars. She was born with natural blonde hair and blue eyes, and although today she may be a hair tutorialist, she has kept them free from dye and contacts to this day. Kirsten is known for being strongly confident and proud in her heritage, thus today gathering together Germans and German-Americans as a large portion of her fan base.

Early Carrier
Kirsten always had a passion for filming. Ever since she was three, she was making plays and movies with her toys. At the age of eight, she got her first camera for Christmas and was instantly hooked on the stop-motion concept. She made stop-motion movies of her toys, such as Littlest Pet Shop, American Girl Dolls, and stuffed animals. After discovering YouTube, she became even more fascinated with people that did similar animations to her and posted them for the world to see. Unfortunately, her parents didn't think it was okay for her to expose herself on the internet at such a young age, and prohibited her from actually having a YouTube account for a few years. This didn't stop her from filming. Every Christmas or birthday, she relentlessly asked for a new camera, computer, etc. to improve her movie skills. As she grew older, fashion caught her eye and became a new interest along with the filming. Having most of her older family members as marketers for huge businesses, she looked up to and took advice and inspiration from them. A lot of this was especially due to the time spent with her aunt up to high school, which to this day she still claims is her main motivation to be a successful You Tuber and stylist.

Up until ninth grade, Kirsten attended a private school. Sixth grade, she recalls, is one of the most bittersweet times for her. Being apart of such a small grade, with under thirty students, getting ganged up on wasn't uncommon for a student at her school. She was targeted and discriminated against for her ethnicity and looks. She once stated, "Most kids just wanted something to talk about. Drama was like food to them. My closest friends turned on each other; on me. It was a dark time for everyone." The only upside, Kirsten later said, was that she got to meet her best friend and soon-to-be business partner: Carli Metz. Carli attended her school for the first time in sixth grade, and the two quickly and closely bonded, however, they didn't have any classes together. Therefore, the two didn't really click until the years to come. In seventh grade, Carli introduced to Kirsten this "new cool app" she discovered. The app happened to be Trusper.

Time passed before the two felt like it was time to post their own tutorials on the app. Both having separate accounts, Kirsten and Carli both started off posting nail tutorials."I still remember when I get my very first view on my very first tip...my heart skipped a beat. Little did I know where I would be today." Yes, Kirsten's first tutorial happened to be a nail tutorial, not a hair one. After posting some here and their, the two started getting a few followers on their separate accounts. Then one day, Kirsten posted a "Crown Braid Tutorial". One view turned into a thousand. A thousand turned into fifteen thousand. Her followers went from 20 to 200, and 200, to 2,000. Elated by her sudden progress, Kirsten made a "Heatless Waves and Curls" tutorial, getting even more than her previous one. (To this day, it's still her most famous tip.)

"I couldn't believe what had happened. One day I joined Trusper, the next I had all my followers begging me to start a YouTube channel."
