Cardi B also revealed that she uses a handmade hair oil that she makes herself! She added that she has been trying something new on her and her daughter Kulture's hair for four months, and might share a video with her fans.
Some Twitter users accused the 'Wap' rapper of being the latest star to jump on the haircare line bandwagon, saying she likely has plans to sell products.
Priyanka Chopra, Tia Mowry, Jennifer Aniston, and Taraji P. Henson are just some of the stars who have started haircare lines in recent years.
Beyoncé also hinted that she has a haircare line on the way in May.
"Y’all really don’t see how a LATINA selling 'hair growth oil' to BLACK women could be misleading?" one woman asked Cardi B.
She clapped back: "I'm not even selling anything... I been showing my hair growth journey to my fans since 2016!"
