"I Love My Hair" is a Sesame Street song performed by an Anything Muppet girl. She sings about how proud she is of her hair and the many ways she can wear it. The girl, later named "Segi", was voiced in the song by Chantylla Johnson and puppeteered by Kevin Clash.
The video was posted on Sesame Workshop's YouTube channel in October 2010, and quickly garnered online attention for its positive message. Following the original debut of the segment, other airings feature a modified music track.
A new, bi-lingual version of the song ("Me Encanta Mi Cabello") was performed by Armando and Segi in Season 44. The segment was released online on October 10, 2013 and was televised with Episode 4413. Ismael Cruz Córdova, who portrays the character, re-wrote the song entirely in Spanish for his audition and the producers were so fond of it, they reworked it and incorporated it to the show. Córdova performed the song on Good Morning America on May 10, 2013.
