“Sesame Street” writer Joey Mazzarino explained to ABC News that after he and his wife adopted their daughter from Ethopia, they were unaware how to handle her hair “situations” as she got older. So this skit, which has become viral on the net, was born.
Joey wrote the song mainly with his daughter in mind:
“She’s like my little muse,” Mazzarino said.
As Mazzarino and his wife watched their daughter grow, he noticed a change when she started playing with Barbies. Segi started saying negative things about herself and her own hair.
“She was going through this phase where she really wanted like the long, blonde hair. … She would look at Barbies and really want the hair.”
“I just want kids to know their hair is beautiful,” Mazzarino said. “I just hope little kids, little girls see this and really feel positive and great about themselves.”
