RIP OFF

Cardi B Got Waxed on Her Instagram Stories and It Was an Emotional Roller Coaster

With beauty services becoming more readily available as businesses look to reopen after months of the coronavirus-induced shutdowns, Cardi B has already eagerly returned to some of her favorite manicurists and tattoo artists for a couple of her favorite treatments. After giving depilatories a shot, it looks like she's ready to let a professional remove her body hair too. And because this is Cardi B we're talking about, she was more than happy to share the experience with her 70 million Instagram followers.

Cardi posted videos to her Instagram Stories in which she's lying on her back with a nervous look on her face — eyes closed and sharply manicured hands over her mouth — as she complains that her vulva is hot (though she didn't say vulva). "I'm scared — no, no, no, no," she says to an out-of-frame waxer. "Wait, can we wash it off?" Cardi goes on to say that she's never had her bikini area waxed with hard wax before.

As the wax is ripped off, Cardi — complete with a purple butterfly filter on her face — starts screaming in a combination of pain and laughter. After catching her breath, she then sits up a bit to see the results and lets out a calm, "Ooh, cute."

We then see the waxer working on the back of Cardi's thighs, and as she pulls off strips of pink wax, the rapper squirms, laughing almost maniacally as she says, "You set me up."

This inside look at Cardi's hair-removal session also gave fans an opportunity to see her latest hairstyle. The Grammy winner currently has a three-tone take on reverse-ombré hair: The roots are platinum blonde, the mid-length is a vibrant pink, and the ends are black.

But like her body hair, this new hairstyle may not be around for very long — after all, Cardi B loves to switch it up.
