We all know that Instagram Story Highlights are an extremely important "first impression" when potential followers land on your profile. Having well curated highlights can get someone to tap the follow button before they even look at your feed. When you start having tons of highlights on Instagram, you'll notice that only 4 - 5 highlights show up on your profile before you start scrolling through them.
