Dove Hair: Love Your Curls
Dove has been at the forefront of body positivity since the launch of the Campaign for Real Beauty. With this campaign, Dove took its brand mission to the hair category—with a film, a PR blitz, a children’s book, social creative, emojis, and more.
Beyond the effect on curly haired women and the positive brand lift, the campaign had huge business results, earning Dove Hair significantly more shelf space at top retailers.

Lastly, we put control over the conversation in the hands of women and girls - by launching the world's first curly haired emojis, which were downloaded over 900,000 times:
