With the help of wigs, weaves, and extensions, celebrity hairstylists can create magic. Cardi B is one of the many celebrities who can take full advantage of the benefits of being able to change her hairstyle as often as possible and whenever she pleases, and that's often.
The "Money" rapper has rocked long colorful wigs and short blunt bobs—and honestly, she slays any look she wears. So far in her career, she has rocked mint green, purple, hot pink, fiery red, and silver hair, all without damaging her natural hair. Isn't that fantastic? The mom has walked the red carpet looking fantastic and confident while her hair looks just as flawless as she does, especially at the 2018 Met Gala.

This is dream hair!
For the Interview cover, Cardi's hair was styled in the thickest, longest, most romantic waves we've ever seen on her. Our favorite part though, was those perfectly laid baby hairs. Cardi is always so true to herself.
It took six wigs.
Cardi said on Instagram that her hair stylist, who is known in the industry as Tokyo Stylez, use six wigs to create the incredible look. We can't help but wonder if it felt heavy. Even if it did, it was worth it.
We love this intricate look.
Cardi was recently on the cover of Interview magazine, and once again delivered an incredible shoot. Her hair was phenomenal. We really loved how this intricate hairstyle complements the extravagant gown she's wearing in this photo.
She goes all out with the hair for her music videos.
Cardi has an incredible glam squad that goes all out to transform her for every single music video she makes. In the music video for "Up," she has long, thick platinum blond waves that were gently combed into place while she was laying down for one scene.
Her creativity makes a statement.
Cardi is definitely a super creative person and the team behind her hair and makeup must be as well. We don't know who could've imagine this out-there look, but using decapitated doll heads as hair accessories certainly makes for an unforgettable moment.
Her look for Woman of the Year was commanding.
When Cardi was named Billboard's Woman of the Year, the looks created for the magazine's cover shoot were bold and artistic, and really made Cardi look like a total icon. This hairstyle almost looks like a sculpture.
She uses her hair as an accessory.
Cardi truly does use her hair as an accessory. It's almost like another piece of jewelry for her. This complex pink style, for example, matched her dress and drew attention up almost the way a hat would. Plus, it's pretty darn adorable.
This braid gives us '90s vibes.
Paired with the side part, this butt-length braid Cardi sported gives us total '90s vibes, but updated, of course. There's probably not a Latina who grew up in the 1990s who didn't wear a low braid with a side part to school.
This ombre wig is such a gorgeous color.
You can tell Cardi's hair budget has increased exponentially since her days on Love & Hip Hop. This one in particular is applied so perfectly, and although the color is a bit out there, we love how it blends from blond to a dark brown at the tips.
Her hair color choices are so bold!
Not only do we love this style of this wig with its two adorable bows on the top and the gorgeous length, but the colors are also so gorgeous—it reminds us of cotton candy. The bright blues and the pinks in different shades look so pretty and we love that she matched her eye shadow to the hair.
She's so pretty in pink.
While most people barely ran a brush through their hair while we were all social distancing in early 2020, Cardi made sure she looked on point even if she was just staying at home. She had her hair done and changed up often, and this pink updo she wore in April was beyond pretty.
This pink wig is so perfect.
It might be hard to believe but Cardi looked this good to be at home doing nothing. She got her hair, makeup and nails done while practicing social distancing at home with her family. Glamour doesn't take any days off when you're a superstar like Cardi!
Pink always works so well on her.
Cardi loves wearing pink hair and we totally understand why—it works every time! This long and luscious pink wig reached down to her lower back and the pale color looks so amazing against her caramel skin tone.
She matches her hair to her outfits.
In this case, she even matched her wig to the colors of the Ghana flag when she was visiting the country. Now that's one way artists can show support for their fans whenever they perform elsewhere. We wonder if this could become a trend?
This pic left us in awe.
Cardi B is the queen of wigs and we love her hair's versatility. She not only wears wigs and extensions to look good, but it's also a way to protect her hair so that she doesn't constantly have to style her real hair and damage it. She shared this photo of her natural hair blow-dried in June 2020 and it looked so healthy, long, and beautiful. This is her best look yet!
The 'Be Careful' rapper KILLED this updo.
Cardi showed up at the Marc Jacobs fashion show in New York City in February 2018 looking like a total mob boss and we LOVE it. It's very reminiscent of the Motown era female singers that helped shape today's R&B and hip-hop music.
This might be one of Cardi's most iconic looks ever.
She wore this rainbow wig when she was pregnant, and she rocked matching shoes with it. I mean, who else can pull that off but her?! It's actually a pretty subtle look for eccentric Cardi, and we think it's really beautiful.
We're convinced she'll look incredible in any hair color.
Cardi filmed the video for her feature on El Alfa's song "Mi Mami" in 2018 wearing a soft pink wig, and it looked gorgeous on her! Again, we are totally obsessed with her in cotton candy pink tresses.
She tried the violet and wet hair trend at once.
For Fashion Week 2018 in Paris, Cardi dressed in purple from head to toe and that included her hair. She slicked it back to show off her gorgeous diamond earrings and looked like she was dripping in finesse.
Cardi B turned up the heat and the glam for her 'Money' single cover.
The short glamorous blond bob she wore for this shoot was covered in tiny jewels. Now THAT's a hairstyle. It's so glitzy and glamorous, we're sure it was a blast to get all dolled up to create this look.
This mint green style might be one of her best yet.
The color looks incredible with her complexion and the green coat she wore. We also love how sharp and clean the cut is. Cardi definitely knows how to rock a bob in any shade of the rainbow and make it look chic.
Pink wigs are for sure her style.
It's so amazing how you can change up your hair color and length in a matter of minutes without having to damage your real hair. These super-long magenta tresses look absolutely incredible, especially with the all-black 'fit.
Cardi took a page from Kris Jenner's playbook for the 2018 VMAs.
The rapper showed up at the red carpet rocking a short and sexy haircut, similar to the one the Kardashian matriarch is known for. We are not at all used to seeing Cardi with hair this short, but it looked fantastic.
Cardi B rocked some bangs and a bob with confidence.
Cardi rocked this short cut to the Clive Davis pre-Grammy Gala on January 27, 2018. While it does have some Willy Wonka feels, somehow the rapper made it work! We actually really love the way the bangs frame her sparkly eye makeup.
Cardi rocked a gorgeous red wig for her Fashion Nova campaign.
Listen, this red hair, those shades and that white dress are to die for! She is exuding rich and successful woman vibes. This particular shade of red is almost auburn and it's so flattering with Cardi's skin tone.
Cardi tried the Jessica Rabbit red hair.
It's loud but it's perfect for Cardi's bold personality. While we really loved the Fashion Nova red, this one is much more "Cardi." She looks like she feels really good about herself in this particular look.
Forget having hair down to your waist, Cardi's hair goes down to her knees.
Talk about inches. This blond wig is giving us LIFE! We're not sure how she managed to walk, let alone sit with this particular hairstyle, but she obviously made it work. She's no stranger to sacrificing comfort for style.
She gave us major Storm from X-Men feels with this look.
These long and flowy waves make her look like a total vixen and the silver color is everything! The entire look is like a cross between Storm from the X-Men comics and '80s-era music icon Cher. It's was definitely a flashy moment.
Cardi B's sleek ponytail for a fashion week party in 2018 came in handy.
The rapper wore her hair in a sleek ponytail perfectly split in the middle, but the best part was the huge, puffy part of the pony. This was the night she got into an altercation with Nicki Minaj, so it was good that she kept her hair pulled back.
This bob with a 1950s feel makes her look classic and timeless.
She really rocked this look and it makes her look grown and sexy with an air of sophistication. We love how Cardi loves to switch it up between totally outlandish outfits and hair styles and totally chic ones.
Blondes do have more fun.
Cardi performed at the 2018 Global Citizen festival in September and wore long, blond locks. She really pulled off this look well. It's amazing how she manages to dance and traverse the stage wearing such long locks.
Cardi wore a short wavy bob to turn herself in to police.
If there's any look a person should wear under these circumstances, it's definitely this one. Cardi was 100-percent channeling the legendary Marilyn Monroe. A truly glamorous person takes no days off—not even court days.
Cardi pulls off updos like no other.
While sometimes updos can make a person like they're on their way to a Sweet 16, Cardi wears them and makes them look timeless. We love how she went with a slightly messy updo here to switch things up a bit.
Cardi looked so fashion forward with a short blond wig.
The rapper definitely rocked this look so well that people recreated it for Halloween 2018. The almost-platinum bob is super-chic and goes perfectly with the all-over animal print look. It's definitely a striking ensemble.
The 'Bodak Yellow' rapper was feeling blue.
By now we all know that Cardi loves herself a pastel-hued 'do and we absolutely adore this color and style on her. It's almost just as pretty as all of her pale pink hairstyles and the top know is so cute on her.
This over-the-top hairstyle is so fitting for her.
She wore her hair teased and combed back for the cover of Rolling Stone magazine while she was pregnant with her daughter Kulture, and she looked like a total rock star. It was such a bold look, it definitely caught lots of attention.
