Cardi B has sent the internet into a frenzy after admitting she hasn’t washed her hair in nearly three months. Yes, you read that right: three whole months.
The ‘Bodak Yellow’ star made the revelation during a casual Instagram Live session wearing a wig cap and speaking frankly to her followers.
“I haven’t washed my s-t in like two months,” she confessed, quickly correcting herself: “Matter of fact, I’m lying… probably like three months.” Cardi didn’t stop there. She even joked that her scalp might now be home to “all types of roach eggs, mosquito eggs, everything in this b**** right here,” pointing dramatically to her head.
The candid admission quickly went viral, and fans had strong reactions. Some were outright disgusted.
Adding another layer to the story is the fact that Cardi is currently pregnant with her fourth child, her first with NFL star Stefon Diggs. Her openness about her hair care habits comes at a time when she is already under the public eye for her pregnancy updates.
Of course, Cardi isn’t the first celebrity to raise eyebrows with unusual hygiene habits. Talk show host James Corden admitted back in 2022 that he only washes his hair every two months, saying, “I use soap, but I don’t wash my hair. That is a true story.”
Actor Jake Gyllenhaal also made headlines in 2021 when he admitted he doesn’t see bathing as “necessary,” adding, “More and more I find bathing to be less necessary, at times.”
