Cardi B likes big bows and cannot lie, or so it seems. It appears that the rapper's actual hair was used to create a massive bow that sits on the crown of her head. The hairstylist behind this look, Mia Jackson, better known as Tokyo Stylez, shared a four-part photo collage of the singer's big hair bow via Instagram on February 22. You can check out Cardi's latest hair look below. 

The reactions à la the comments section to this style were primarily in the form of heart and fire emojis. A user by the name of @imhighmaintenance wrote that they would love to see Jackson make a step-by-step tutorial of this look. If you're reading this, Mia, we 100 percent agree on that one.

As seen in the photos, Cardi's big hair bow was also joined by two other fabulous beauty moments: some fierce winged eyeliner and a set of stiletto-shaped cobalt blue nails. Erika  La'Pearl, the rapper's go-to makeup artist, was responsible for making that cat-eye come to life alongside Cardi's larger-than-life hairstyle. Per La'Pearl's Instagram post of the look, she used Pat McGrath's Perma Precision Liquid Eyeliner to line the eyes. She used several of the brand's other products on the face as well. Meanwhile, the nail artist behind Cardi's nails is sadly unknown.

Now, back to the topic of hair bows. It's sure as hell not your everyday hairstyle, but singer-songwriter Dua Lipa has also worn a version of the style in the music video for her song "Demeanor," which premiered in July of 2021. Unlike Cardi, Lipa wore two bows instead of one. The singer's go-to hairstylist, Chris Appleton, sculpted her hair into the shape of a hairbow. 

I don't about you, but Cardi's big hair bow could give Minnie Mouse's bow a run for her money, don't you think?
