Cardi B is known for rocking a multitude of different wigs for performances and just for fun. She also wears wigs as a protective style for her natural hair. The rapper recently showed off her natural, kinky hair on Instagram which she self described as “not curly” and revealed the easy DIY mask she uses to get her hair silky smooth (via Vogue). The ingredients are likely already in your fridge and pantry!

“This is really how my hair is,” she explained to her fans in a video. “My hair gets like this when you blow dry it and two days later it looks puff puff like this, even when you braid it. She added, “[My hair is] just straight like this.”

Cardi then gave a step-by-step tutorial on the hair mask she’s used to smooth her tresses and revealed old photos showing how much doing the mask grew her hair over the years.

Cardi's hair mask formula has amazing results

In a small bowl Cardi combined avocado, castor oil, argan oil, avocado oil, honey, bananas, and mayonnaise before she blended it to create a smooth hair mask. “All the good things you put in your body, you put on your hair,” she told her followers. “It’s just a good hair mask to help your hair grow.”  

The combinations of the oils, especially Jamaican black castor oil, has a lot of benefits. Among them are promoting hair growth, keeping hair soft, moisturized, and strong, and get this: the oil is a natural antibacterial and anti-fungal, so it’s ideal for those who struggle with a flaky or itchy scalp. Just beware that the oil is heavy and sticky, so you may not want to use it every day (via NaturallyCurly.com).

Meanwhile, hours after doing the mask, Cardi posted a photo on Instagram of the end results. The rapper had shiny, silky and long hair compared to her previously kinky hair texture. “Treat your hair ladies,” she wrote in the caption. “It helps with hair growth ALOT!” She also criticized men for thinking that long hair is only possible with wigs.
