There’s an emoji for everything – a hazelnut, a paper clip, 3 kinds of CD-roms. Yet somehow not one curly girl to be found – until now. Dove recently launched their own line of curly girl emojis so now we can hair twirl and heart eyes to our hearts’ delight.
According to Sali A. Tagliamonte, a professor of linguistics at the University of Toronto who partnered with Dove Hair on this launch, “If people can use tools of communication that reflect who and what they are, this can have a positive effect on their self-confidence and quality of life.”
The best part? They did not simply release one curl pattern, one hair color, or one hair length. They got the memo that curls come in all shapes and sizes (and colors”> and gave us 131 variations to choose from.
We’re all for curly hair representation on every platform available, and considering 74% of us are using emojis daily this platform’s reach will be pretty all encompassing.
