Cardi Bhas never shied away fromdiscussing her plastic surgery experiences. And even though people may have different opinions about her cosmetic procedures, the rapper says the enhancements make her feel her most confident.
“Well, I’m from New York, right? And New York is a melting pot, especially where I grew up in the Bronx. I was really skinny when I was younger, and in the Bronx, it’s about being thick and having an ass so young boys would be like, ‘Look at your flat ass. You ain’t got no t—ies.’ And it would make me feel so ugly and undeveloped,” Cardi said in an intimate conversation with Mariah Carey for herInterviewcover story.
When Cardi was old enough to work as a dancer in a strip club, she used her earnings to get breast implants, which was the first step toward forgetting about her insecurities.

The plastic surgery procedures helped the star feel like the best version of herself. “Then I felt super confident. I feel so vindicated,” Cardi said.
She continued: “I used to dye my hair, and people used to be like, ‘Oh, your hair’s so crunchy.’ And it would make me feel so weird.”

Now, Cardi’s learned to cocktail her own at-home hair treatments to keep it her natural mane healthy. “I make my own hair mask and take care of my natural hair, and it makes me feel better, like what people were saying about me isn’t true,” she said. “My hair was not bad because it was nappy. My hair was bad because I didn’t know how to take care of it.”
The star sharedher DIY moisturizing hair maskwith fans last summer in a video posted on her Instagram. The nourishing treatment includes a combination of avocado, argan oil, mayonnaise, castor oil, olive oil, eggs, honey and banana, she said.
While the rapper did not list the measurements for each ingredient in the recipe, she did note that she adds just a small amount of honey when she applies the mask to Kulture’s hair, so it doesn’t feel too sticky. Cardi also said she includes “a lot” of black castor oil and uses a blender to get rid of any avocado chunks.
