Cardi B had fans in shock after revealing that she hasn’t washed her hair in months. During an Instagram Live session on October 27, the Bronx rapper, who is currently expecting her fourth child (and her first with NFL star Stefon Diggs), candidly shared the truth about her haircare. Or rather, her lack of it.
“I haven’t washed my s–t in two months, I’m not even gonna front,” she admitted. “Matter of fact, I’m lying. Probably three months. I don’t f–king know. I probably got all types of roach eggs, mosquito eggs, everything in this b—h right here.”
Cardi B, known for her openness about motherhood, beauty, and body image, remained unfazed, keeping things light as she mentioned she was finally gearing up for a big wash day. “I gotta oil down my scalp, ‘cause tomorrow I’m gonna do my real hair,” she said. “I’m gonna wash it, then around Wednesday I’m gonna braid it.”
Fans quickly filled the comments with laughter and support. One person joked, “Cardi said roach eggs, but I know she’s lying, that scalp just marinating for greatness.” Another chimed in, “If being pregnant and tired had a personality, it’d be Cardi right now.”
Let’s face it, every girl with natural hair knows the challenge of scheduling wash day. With a busy life filled with pregnancy, kids, work, and everything else, wash day can easily stretch into wash month.
However, some followers raised concerns over Cardi’s joke about “roach eggs,” cautioning her about possible scalp issues. Healthline points out that going too long without washing can lead to dandruff, scalp buildup, or scalp odor. But with Cardi’s sense of humor, it’s clear she was just exaggerating for laughs and not overly worried about what anyone on the internet thinks.
Pregnant, busy, and embracing her life fully, Cardi B is showing that self-care is personal and varies from person to person!
