Curly Hair Emoji

While given emoji presentation on select platforms, this emoji component was intended to be used exclusively within emoji sequences. This means this emoji is excluded from most emoji keyboards. This emoji may seem similar to the other emojis such as “Person With Curly Hair”, “Woman With Curly Hair”, or even “Man With Curly Hair”, but the reality is completely different. The representation of this emoji is not concerned with any individual but the sole concept of having curly hair. That is why the facial features are completely missing in this emoji and only the curly hair are highlighted.

HISTORY:

The introduction of this emoji happened long time ago but the actual addition of this “Curly Hair” emoji to mainstream platforms occurred around the release of IOS 12.1 in the year 2018. Also, companies like Dove, etc., took active participation and initiative in creating curly hair emoji keyboards, which ultimately highlighted the need for the representation of people having curly hair prominently.

USES:

The “Curly Hair” emoji is used to express pride in one's natural hair texture and also to celebrate their curly hair in all possible ways. Also, it is actively used to add greater diversity to online conversations, and to allow people to express themselves more accurately and up to the mark.
