We tried the emoji hair trend and now we’re never posting a regular selfie again!
What emoji will you choose? ?
In case you haven’t heard, #emojihair is going viral on social media and we’re not talking about the Lottie Tomlinson emoji-inspired hair tapestry trend. In fact, it’s something a lot simpler: editing your photos and putting your fave emojis all over your hair.
The best thing about it? Everyone can get behind it, without having to do much (except for rocking your favourite hairstyle, of course!). So, to show you how much fun it is, the ATH editors have tried it out, so you don’t have to…

Leona English, Junior Beauty Editor
“What’s my most used emoji? Food-inspired ones of course! So, to profess my love for it, I added some food emojis into my beachy waves and I’d be lying if I didn’t say it: my short mane looks good enough to eat!”
Editor’s tip: Love using heat to create your waves? Who doesn’t?! Prime and protect your hair before styling and tackle flyaways with the VO5 Express Primer Spray to give your waves a wonderful finish.

“My long blonde hair felt flat today and what better way to disguise that than with a bunch of cat and star emojis?! Do I feel cute? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes, but I only wish it could look like this all the time IRL.”
