Fresh off her tongue ring fiasco update, Cardi B surprised fans with her appearance in the latest Skims campaign. The Bronx-born rapper shared an Instagram post on October 16, showcasing her comfortable two-piece Skims ensemble, paired with striking mermaid-like crimson waves that nearly cascaded down to her knees.
In a brief video clip on Instagram, Cardi B can be seen donning a beige two-piece tank set while seated on the floor, ensconced by her luxurious dark red waves. While running her fingers through the textured hair, she playfully utters, “Everybody’s wearing Skims. Are you?” Throughout the rest of the campaign photos, her mermaid-inspired tresses sway gracefully as she models various Skims outfits.
Cardi’s preferred hairstylist, Tokyo Stylez, masterfully arranged this dark red layered wig sourced from Kendra’s Boutique. Stylez opted for a middle part and introduced loose waves into Cardi’s hair. The techniques employed, be it a hot waver or flat iron, as well as the specifics of the hairspray used to secure these waves, have piqued curiosity.
The textural quality of these water waves was undeniably flawless, evoking a lived-in effect rather than appearing overly polished, a trend gaining traction on recent red carpets. Furthermore, Cardi’s vibrant hair extends to considerable lengths. The shorter layers descend to her hips, while the longest strands of fiery red cascade past her thighs.
Cardi B is celebrated for her extensive collection of wigs, making this her latest venture into the realm of fiery red hair. She’s renowned for her propensity to switch up hair colors frequently, as she candidly shared with fans in September while wearing a previous red-hued look. She humorously remarked, “I need to take this fing red wig off my fing head… One thing about me: I cannot see a color on me for a very f*ing long time, bch.”
As a result, it’s reasonable to assume that Cardi has since retired this long wavy red unit, possibly opting for a jet-black or brown wig until her next hair color transformation. Predicting Cardi’s next hair hue is a challenging task, as she transitions through them as swiftly as a traffic light. However, the prospect of experimenting with warm hues like orange and yellow in the near future is something that many fans eagerly await.
