Cardi B went to social media on Sunday to clap back at internet trolls who bashed her natural hair. The drama started when the rapper shared a mirror selfie to show off her natural hair growth. 

"So I’ve been so consistent with my hair mask routine and drinking alkaline water, and look how much my hair has grown!" she wrote on Twitter. "I was so scared of my hair falling out after my son’s birth because I’d been growing it for years now, so I made sure to keep up with it and I actually gain hair."

Some shameless social media users bashed the artist, saying she only has healthy hair because she’s “mixed.” The 29-year-old artist of course didn't go away quietly after seeing the comments. She responded by posting a series of videos and photos showing the progression of her natural hair throughout her life. 

"I been posting pics of my hair journey for years and being mixed don’t mean your hair is always long and curly, that wasn’t my case," Cardi wrote.

The "WAP" singer said she's had problems with managing her hair since childhood but that she recently found different methods that work for her. 

"They’ll try to make us believe our hair won’t grow this long, it’s not true," she wrote. "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."

But it's now easier for Cardi and many other women to take care of their natural hair. 

"Now everybody is getting better options, making affordable GOOD products, learning from natural hair YouTube and Tik Tok about how to care for our hair better," the singer wrote. "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."

Cardi reiterated her message on Twitter.

"ItS gEnEtICS!" she wrote, mocking the people who don't understand her hair. "No it’s proper hair maintenance. I have a hair texture that requires lots of love and maintenance. This pictures show my hair from childhood, high school & adult hood and since I started takin care of my hair the right way it has grown TREMENDOUSLY!"

Cardi also inspired her fans earlier this year when she opened up about her struggles with acne, USA Today reports. 

"I been breaking out lately and my face is extremely dry. I don’t think these products are working. I think it’s the water out here," she wrote. "What are some good products for little black heads break outs and dry skin on your face?"

Cassandra Bankson, a medical esthetician with more than 1 million YouTube subscribers, said it was inspiring to see Cardi coming forward with her story.

"I think that celebrities usually seem perfect, untouchable and idealistic, and what Cardi B has done has ripped off that veil," Bankson told USA Today. "She's saying, 'Yeah, I'm a celebrity. I look amazing in my 'WAP' music video, but this is exactly what I'm struggling with.' For me personally, it almost validates the experience of having acne or breakouts or hyperpigmentation. It's like, 'OK, somebody who I thought was perfect goes through this too."
