The bizarre hair routine Cardi B once reccomended to her fans
Bronx rapper Cardi B is undoubtedly the hot new girl on the block in female rap. When the ‘WAP’ emcee broke onto the scene in 2017 with her debut single ‘Bodak Yellow’, she certainly shook things up.
Cardi B has been an unstoppable force in hip-hop. However, her success in the realm of rap shifted the landscape of the genre an unfathomable amount. She has a huge presence on social media and sometimes shares some interesting takes on music, and relationships. Furthermore, on one occasion, the ‘Money’ rhymer even told her fans about a hair care tip.
She has a massive fan base and, with her outspoken ways, seems to be in the blogs all the time. Before becoming a rapper, Cardi was an Instagram influencer sharing her stories, funny anecdotes and hilarious videos. However, in 2022, the artist took to Twitter to share some of her beauty regimes, including her hair care routine.
The Grammy-award-winning musician unveiled that she had been trying to accelerate her hair growth for years but stated that none of the traditional methods worked for her. However, she disclosed that she had recently stumbled across a technique that produced excellent results. However, the ingredients involved in her conditioning process were strange, to say the least, as one of them was a vegetable. Moreover, it was a vegetable that most consider to have a rotten odour.
Taking to Twitter, Cardi unveiled the magic ingredients she found were onions. Sending out a tweet, Cardi wrote, “My last two washes, I been boiling onions and using the water to wash my hair. I used to do this six years ago when I started my healthy hair growth journey. I stopped ’cause I got really lazy.”
She assured fans that it wouldn’t make a smell, posting, “It’s odourless, and I notice that it’s been giving a shine to my hair.” However, this bizarre method isn’t the first Cardi had shared with followers.
In early 2022, the ‘I Like It’ singer disclosed that she and her daughter had a special recipe for their curls. The primary ingredient was avocado, which is not too uncommon in the world of wellness. However, Cardi then told fans to add argan oil, mayonnaise, black castor oil, olive oil, eggs, and honey.
After using her technique, she posted a picture on Instagram with the caption, “The end results of all that s*** I put on my hair earlier. Treat your hair ladies … and don’t let a n*gga tell you sh*t bout wearing wigs. It helps with hair growth A LOT!”
Many questioned the routine, but some wanted more, with one user writing, “Card, I need a full hair care routine in a YouTube video. I’m ready to do a big chop,” while another added, “Rice water and aloe has been working wonders for me. I don’t wanna walk around selling like a sub Cardi… I love ya, but I’m gonna pass on this one boo.” Still, it’s safe to say the routine got mixed reactions.
