Cardi B is embracing her natural hair texture.
On Monday (June 8), the “Press” rapper took to her Instagram Stories to give fans an in-depth tutorial at her extensive hair care routine. Instructing her 67 million followers through a series of clips, Cardi shared her own natural hair mask recipe that involves a blend of avocado, egg, banana, Jamaican black castor oil, mayonnaise, and argan oil. After blending the concoction, the 27-year-old then demonstrates how she applies the mixture to her daughter Kulture’s head full of curls.
Cardi surprises in another clip of her dressed in a white bikini while pulling at her mane of parted, untouched hair. “Okay, guys, so this is really how my hair is. This is my hair texture,” the “Be Careful” star says with pride. “My hair gets like this when you blow-dry it and then two days later it looks puff puff like this. Even when you braid it.”
“All the good things that you put in your body, you gotta put in your hair,” Cardi insisted, before leading fans through her step-by-step regime — application, washing, and styling. The finishing product is something to behold as Cardi later flaunts her big, puffed-out hairstyle while driving around the city while encouraging followers to embrace their natural hair textures too.
Responding to haters who referred to her hair as “f—ked up,” Cardi hit back, “This ain't f—ked up hair, ya know? This is natural. Natural, strong hair.”
Following her tutorial and message, Cardi went on to share several images of her natural hair — from childhood to adolescence — as a show of self-love before posting a picture of how treating your hair with kindness pays off in the long run.
“The end results of all that s—t I put on my hair earlier 😩😂😂” she wrote. “Treat your hair ladies ...and don’t let a nikka tell you s—t bout wearing wigs😤 It helps with hair growth ALOT !”
