Fans of rappers Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have been blown away after the pair took to social media to unveil their real, natural hair to the world.
Cardi, 32, was the first to share her hair, with the Bodak Yellow hitmaker reposting a video of herself to Instagram that she'd originally taken in October.
As she caressed her luscious mane in the clip, Cardi said, 'It literally took three hours to take down.'
She added, 'I ain't gonna lie. I haven't washed my hair in two months.'
Megan, 29, followed by posting a picture of her sleek and straight locks from behind, captioning it, 'My hair grew so much, [oh my god].'
Both Cardi and Megan wore multi-colored wigs and hair pieces in the music videos for their collaborations WAP and Bongos.
The footage of their natural hair was reposted by Hollywood Unlocked, and the comments came in thick and fast.
'Cardi B needs to launch a hair care line. I will actually buy that,' gushed one.

'I love to see this. It's unfortunate people still in 2024 feel as if Black women cannot grow hair down their back,' wrote another.
'Cardi came a long way... I remember how damaged her hair was,' a third wrote.
'I love that both of them have healthy hair. If people weren't so "anti-Black" they would realize a lot of Black women have long beautiful hair!' added a fourth.
Last year, Cardi confessed that she keeps her hair in perfect condition by using homemade hair oil.
Before that, she'd told fans that one of her haircare tricks was boiling onions and using the 'odorless' water to wash her raven mane for extra shine.
'The facts are you need hair products and good care that works for you to maintain it and keep it healthy,' she shared.
'Sometimes it's not even just about growth it's about keeping it healthy and the growth comes.'
In 2021, the former stripper stressed that 'being mixed don't mean your hair is always long and curly' and claimed society 'tried to make us believe our hair won't grow this long' but 'it's not true.'

'A lot of hair products we used back then weren'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,' Cardi mused.
'Now everybody is getting better options, making affordable good products, learning from natural hair YouTube and TikTok about how to care for our hair better,' she continued.
'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.'
The hitmaker also frequently dons colorful wigs and hairpieces coiffed by her hairstylist Mia (aka Tokyo Stylez) for shoots and concerts rather than damaging her own natural hair.
