Cardi B reveals DIY mask for hair growth & hydration – it’s made with food but she warns: ‘No ranch, it’s not a salad’
RAP superstar Cardi B doesn’t mess around when it comes to getting stage-ready strands.
She also doesn’t shy away from using a few food groups in her DIY mask mix.
It might not taste good, but it does the hair-taming trick.
Before preparing her mask mix, she had a pro tip to share first.
“Detangle first while dry. It will make detangling easier than when hair is wet with conditioner, said Cardi B, (@iamcardib).
The first item on the menu for her hair-repairing recipe was an avocado that she carefully scooped out with her super-long nails.
Next up was the protein group.
She took out two eggs to “crack that b**ch” – and not even her nails could stop her.
According to Healthline, there are some benefits to applying egg yolk to the scalp.
Eggs can help prevent hair loss and brittle hair, and they even help in the battle to grow your hair.
Adding some mayo to the mix is another crucial element for getting an extra moisturized mane.
Still, there was one food she stayed away from as she waved her hands and shared a warning.
“No ranch, it’s not a salad,” she said.
Save that one for your stomach instead.
She added that it was okay to use was black castor oil that “works on your hair.”
This superstar knows you don’t have to spend a fortune to look fine.
Online retail giant Amazon sells Kate Blanc castor oil for $9.99.
The organic oil is described as being ideal for stimulating hair growth – including brows and lashes.
It even keeps your face moisturized and reduces the appearance of blemishes and acne.
The product already had tons of five-star reviews.
“So I bought this over a week ago and have been using it consistently every night before bed,” wrote one purchaser.
“I put a good amount on and then massage it into my eyebrows and I’ve noticed the sparse areas getting a bit thicker already!” she added.
“I use a few drops mixed with my nighttime moisturizer to spread over my face and neck before bed,” wrote another customer.
“This is a wonderful product for helping keep my skin looking smooth and bright at 80 years old,” she continued.
All that’s left to do is blend and “slap” your hydrating DIY mask on your own hair.
There’s no need to be in a rush either when trying to get superstar strands.
Just place a plastic bag over your hair and wait for the mix to work its magic.
“Keep on hair as long as you can. Let that marinate like chicken,” she said.
Cardi shared an additional tip: “Don’t use a plastic bag that meat was in.”
Once everything has “cooked” you’ll want to shampoo and condition thoroughly before adding rice water.
She explained how she leaves her rice water outside for 24 hours so that the “sun can soak it.”
Don’t be shy about spraying the water all over your hair.
She also advises taking one extra step before blow drying – using curlers.
“Direct heat from the blower to wet hair is damaging. Also, hair results are one hundred percent better,” she said.
After getting through the “annoying” part of sitting under the dryer, you can just take out the rollers and blow dry everything straight.
And just like that, your glam goal has been achieved.
After all, Cardi practices what she preaches – or sings.
“Hair, nails, polar bear,” are the lyrics on her new song, Enough Miami.
It seemed that some of her fans had already known about the trick.
