Apple revealed more than 70 new emojis for World Emoji Day, including bald emojis and people with red, gray and curly hair. ... bald emojis come in a variety of skin tones for both men and women.

In particular the gender and hair color changes are significant, which will allow any generic emoji to be customized. You could, for example, change the dancer emoji to a male with red hair.

Curly-haired and red-headed emoji were added more recently. Clearly, representation is something that's greatly considered when emoji are chosen, so emoji with Afros are just a natural, inclusive fit.
