Dove has teamed up with Colombian band Bomba Estéreo for its #MyHairAMiModo campaign. This initiative is a resonant anthem for self-expression, challenging the narrow beauty standards and societal expectations that often dictate how Latinas should style their hair, and instead encouraging everyone to style their hair their own way in a judgment-free society. Dove’s research indicates that an overwhelming majority of women feel pressured to conform to these norms. The campaign, which translates to "my hair, my way," seeks to dismantle these stereotypes, empowering women to embrace their natural hair with confidence and pride.
The collaboration with Bomba Estéreo’s Li Saumet has given new life to the band’s hit song "Soy Yo," now reimagined as a bold declaration of hair positivity. The updated music video features Sarai Gonzalez, the child star from the original "Soy Yo" video, and showcases a tapestry of hair stories from the Latina community. Dove’s initiative goes beyond the screen, inviting women to share their own hair journeys on TikTok using the hashtag #MyHairAMiModo. This campaign is more than just a message; it’s a movement, encouraging Latinas and allies alike to celebrate the beauty of authenticity in every curl, color, and texture.
