Calling All Curly-Haired Girls, THIS App is Just For You!

Calling all curly-haired Womanistas!

As part of their ongoing #LoveYourCurls campaign, Dove has just debuted a new app full of curly-haired emojis to perfect your emoji game! (Hallelujah!)

According to Unilever, the owner of Dove, "Dove Hair is committed to … ensuring women and girls see accurate reflections of themselves in the world around them, including … social media — which is why we're so excited to introduce the Dove Love Your Curls Emojis".

Unilever continues, "1 in 3 women in the United States have curly or wavy hair, yet there are zero images of these women today in the increasingly common language of emojis.  

That felt wrong to us, so we're fixing it and hope by doing so, we will continue inspiring all women to love their curls."

From kinky coils to tight ringlets to loose beachy waves, 

they've got a range of hair textures covered. 

So, what are you waiting for?  Download the app and then start tweeting #LoveYourCurls!

As I sit here having just plopped my curly hair (see hair plopping for curly hair) I thank you for the information.

Awright, cottonball. 

Cool timing!  LOL

My own hair is 2a-2b (wavy) and I air-dry it.

I learned about plopping from the Q boards, then Googled for more info and pics.
