Cardi B recently shared the secret to growing her long, luxurious tresses on Instagram.
On August 12, the “WAP” rapper posted a photo of her impressive, thick mane that she attributed using onions to growing her hair.
“My last 2 washes, I been boiling onions and using the water to wash my hair. I used to do this 6 years ago when I started my healthy hair growth journey. I stopped cause I got really lazy. It’s odorless, and I notice that it’s been giving a shine to my hair,” she wrote.

According to Healthline, Cardi may be on to something. The publication reported that onions “are high in dietary sulfur, a nutritional element our bodies need. Sulfur is found within amino acids, which are components of protein. Proteins — and especially keratin, which is known to be sulfur-rich — are needed for growing strong hair.”
Onions have also been a part of hair care routines in India and the Dominican Republic for many years. Cardi is Trinidadian and Dominican.
