Cardi B revealed the astounding results of her natural hair growth journey, but not everyone was blown away.
For several years, the WAP rapper has documented her journey to attain lush and healthy hair, generally wearing wigs to preserve her real locks from harm below.
It’s been a while since fans saw her natural hair, but Cardi, 30, offered an update on Wednesday, and it’s evident that whatever regimen she’s been following is working.
The Grammy-winning artist is shown seated on a chair, her incredibly long black hair falling over her waist.
‘My hair has grown sooooo much!!! Let me know if y’all want a video [for] my HOMEMADE hair oil… handmade by ME!’ she captioned the photo.
Fans were desperate to discover Cardi’s haircare secret, including singer Victoria Monet who commented: ‘Please send some my waaaay! My edges thank you in advance.’
Another follower replied: ‘What I’m tryna do with that hair oil because I’m sick of being Baldilocks and the three hairs.’
‘I want a video of the homemade hair oil, but honestly you should bottle it up and sell it ,it will do numbers,’ one suggested.
However, others were more critical of Cardi’s claim to have grown her hair after a struggle, with one writing: ‘Step 1: be a latina.’
Another questioned: ‘Natural hair?’
One fan interpreted Cardi’s tweet to mean that the rapper was planning on selling a hair growth oil, and wrote: ‘Y’all really don’t see how a LATINA selling “hair growth oil” to BLACK women could be misleading?’
This prompted Cardi to fire back: ‘I’m not even sellin anything you dumb*** b***h… I been showing my hair growth journey to my fans since 2016!’
The Bodak Yellow artist later released a series of images throughout her life with her natural hair at various phases, clearly feeling forced to show proof that she wasn’t gifted with genetically long hair and did need to discover a haircare growth programme.
This is me as a child.. this is me as a teenager.. this is me in my early 20’s…and NOW. Everyone wants to blame my hair growing on genetics but where was the genetics when I was in school?? 😂 The facts are you need hair products and good care that works for you to maintain it… pic.twitter.com/kHAoS24j2z

‘The facts are you need hair products and good care that works for you to maintain it and keep it healthy.. sometimes it’s not even just about growth it’s about keeping it HEALTHY and the growth comes.’
Cardi previously revealed her secret formula for long, beautiful locks, which includes ordinary household products like avocado, Argan oil, mayonnaise, black castor oil, olive oil, eggs, honey, and bananas.
