"I love being a part of the Your Hair Talks, Make A Statement campaign. There are so many women and girls that will see this and get psyched about their curly hair," Cam says. "Be yourself, be unapologetic, the world needs you to be you."

"Cam is perfect for the new campaign and we're thrilled to have her," says Heather Warnke, Director of Marketing, Kao USA Inc. "From her striking, blonde curls to her unique and outgoing personality, she's an amazing addition to our community of women and will inspire them all with her fun and distinctive hair story."

About Cam

California-born singer/songwriter Cam emerged as one of the past year's true breakthrough artists, achieving her first Platinum record and first #1 country single with "Burning House," which earned her a GRAMMY® Award nomination for Best Country Solo Performance. In fact, she was the only female country act to release a song in 2015 and amass a million downloads by the end of the year.  The success also sparked Cam to six nominations for the 2016 Academy of Country Music Awards (most-nominated female), two nods for the American Country Countdown Awards, three nominations for the CMT Music Awards (tied for most-nominated artist), two nods for the 2016 CMA Awards and one for the Music American Awards. Her Untamed album on Arista Nashville/RCA Records, which released December 11, 2015, debuted at #2 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart with the year's best first-week album sales by a debut country artist. Co-produced by 2016 Grammy Producer of the Year winner Jeff Bhasker and multiple Grammy nominee Tyler Johnson, Untamed released to widespread critical acclaim from The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, PEOPLE, Associated Press, and many others. Cam, who co-wrote each of her 11 debut album tracks, has appeared on national TV programs including Good Morning America, Today, CBS This Morning, The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Talk, LIVE with Kelly, The Voice, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Grammys, ACM Awards, CMT Music Awards and CMA Awards. As the opening talent, this rising country star toured on Brad Paisley's Crushin' It Tour and Dierks Bentley's Somewhere On A Beach Tour. After recently headlining her sold-out headline concert series, The Burning House Tour, Cam is looking forward to 2017 shows on George Strait's tour, Stagecoach, C2C country festival stops in London, Dublin and Glasgow and a Bush Hall headline show in London, and multiple Grand Ole Opry appearances, among others.
