Cardi B’s shower routine has left fans shocked and a little icked out.
How you choose to wash is entirely dependent on how you want to do it, but usually, we tend to do it all in a similar way.
You turn the water on, get in, grab your loofah, and soap it up before scrubbing every inch of your body. Then you wash your hair and face.
It’s fairly straightforward, but the rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, adopts a seemingly unconventional approach.

The 33-year-old mother of three (soon to be four) recently admitted to her own shower routine, and it’s missing something essential, according to fans.
Cardi B's revelation came when the 'WAP' hitmaker took to her Instagram Live to have a chat with her 163 million followers.
In a clip from her Live, which was shared on X, she said that she hadn't washed her natural hair in months.
She said that she hasn’t ‘washed my s***’ in approximately two or three months, adding that she was planning to oil and wash her scale before braiding it in the next few days.
"I probably got all types of roach eggs, mosquito eggs, everything in this b***h right here," she joked as she tapped her head.
However, social media users were pretty taken aback by her comments.
"Ima throw up for real," said one user, while a second wrote: "Wtffff."
A third commented: "So f**king gross."
However, others were on her side, as someone else commented to say they think their hair 'thrives a lot better when I wash it once a month'.
"I know ppl who don't wash their hair for months," another said.
Cardi B has always been open about her hair journey and has previously detailed how 'being mixed don’t mean your hair is always long and curly'.
"Since I was a child, I have problems with managing my hair, and couple years ago, I find different methods that work for me and look at my length now,” she said on Instagram in 2021.
“They’ll try to make us believe our hair won’t grow this long it’s not true. A lot of hair products we used back then wasn’t good for our hair but that’s all we had to choose from also we couldn’t afford to get to the salon regularly, if at all."
She added: "I want women of color with tighter curl patterns to know that you don’t have 'bad hair.' There’s no such thing as bad hair, and 'good' hair don’t mean a certain texture. All hair is good."
The rapper's not the only famous person to make a startling hygiene confession; it wasn’t so long ago that Taylor Swift caught some flak online for detailing the part of her body that she refuses to wash, back in 2019.
