In the 21st episode of her new Facebook Watch series, called Cardi Tries, Cardi B has entered the wonderful world of wigmaking. She visited Giovanni & Son human hair wigs to learn how to make a human hair wig, which was eventually donated to a fan who lost her hair due to cancer treatments. And yes you will laugh and cried several times during the 11-minute video.
Cardi was joined by her friends Kway and Tokyo Stylez in the wig manufacturing process, and all three learned how to weigh and ‘chop’ the human hair imported from India, which is then hand-tied in individual ‘weft’ . Finally, the weft is sewn into bundles, which are then processed into full wigs.
Once Cardi better understood the meticulous process of making the wigs, she was ready to do something great with her newfound knowledge. So, she worked with the staff of Giovanni & Son to make a Cardi B twist on some wigs that go to people with cancer.
“It’s going to be a little girl – I want to see the photos and everything, because I made it with love,” Cardi said as he wrapped a finished wig with pink stripes. And the clip of 11-year-old Khloe opening her Cardi B wig will make you sob.
“Wigs are expensive,” Cardi said at the end of the episode. “I’m really glad the wig I made today – with a little help, you know what I’m saying – is going to be donated. I hope it goes to someone who is very special.”
It absolutely did. Khloe was in tears as she tried on her wig, just like us. “It’s pink,” she said through tears. “Thank you very much. It’s so beautiful.”
We cry. You cry. It’s just a feel-good moment we did not see coming.
