Before preparing her mask mix, she had a pro tip to share first.
"Detangle first while dry. It will make detangling easier than when hair is wet with conditioner, said Cardi B.

Cardi shared an additional tip: "Don't use a plastic bag that meat was in."
Once everything has "cooked," you'll want to shampoo and condition thoroughly before adding rice water.
She explained how she leaves her rice water outside for 24 hours so that the "sun can soak it."
Don't be shy about spraying the water all over your hair.
She also advises taking one extra step before blow drying - using curlers.
"Direct heat from the blower to wet hair is damaging. Also, hair results are one hundred percent better," she said.
After getting through the "annoying" part of sitting under the dryer, you can just take out the rollers and blow dry everything straight.
And just like that, your glam goal has been achieved.
