CITY OF NEW YORK – Cardi B, an American rapper, has a surprising secret weapon for her sleek black hair: cooked onions.

The singer for Bodak Yellow used Instagram on Friday to inform her 140 million followers about the hack.

The 29-year-old woman posted a “before” photo of her long hair, which was frizzy and worn out, and a “after” video, which included her showing off her straight, shiny hair.

She stated in the post’s caption, “My previous two (hair) washes, I (have) been cooking onions and utilizing the water to wash my hair.”

“When I first began my path toward healthy hair growth six years ago, I used to do this. I halted (because) I got really lazy.”

Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, emphasized that the water from boiling onions loses some of its pungency. It has no smell, and I’ve noticed that my hair has been getting shinier as a result.

Since it was posted, the image has received close to three million likes, with many comments praising Cardi B’s hair for being so shiny.

Even the official Instagram account chimed in: “If Cardi uses onion water to wash her hair, we use onion water to wash our hair.”

However, some commenters were perplexed, with one posing the question, “Red onions? onion whites? Which onions?” with a weeping emoji after it.

Someone else jokingly said, “I assumed it was garlic, but at this point (I’ll) simply create an Italian dressing and splash some on.
