Country music artists Mickey Guyton, Brittney Spencer and Madeline Edwards performed a rendition of "Love my Hair" at the CMA Awards in 2021.  It is a beautiful song about embracing the hair that we were given and finding freedom through self love and loving one's natural hair.   The song was inspired by Faith Fennidy, a young African American girl who faced hair discrimination while attending school in the south.  She was prohibited from wearing braids in the classroom by the school's principal, who gave her a week to remove them or face expulsion.   Watch as Mickey, Brittney and Madeline perform this iconic and inspirational song while stylishly sporting BIG curls and fros.
