As you use hashtags on Instagram, it helps to keep the following possibilities in mind.
When an Instagram post has been tagged with a hashtag, it is then possible to click the hashtag and be taken to the hashtag page, which shows all the publicly shared photos and videos that have been tagged with that hashtag.
If an account is set to private, only approved followers are able to see photos and videos that have been shared and tagged on a hashtag page.
Posts appear on the hashtag page in the order that they were shared. If, for instance, a hashtag is added after a photo is posted, then the photo will appear on the hashtag page according to the time it was originally posted, not the time the hashtag was added.
If a hashtag is trending, its hashtag page might include sections called Top Posts and Most Recent, which show some of the popular posts tagged with that hashtag. The Most Recent section of a hashtag page may be removed if it is used to post abusive content.

I think you should give a try the second half of this is measuring and analyzing your results. You can use Sprout Social’s Instagram Analytics to find out which of your posts have the most engagement. Then look at the amount of hashtags in your highest performing posts to get a concrete idea of how many hashtags you should use.
