Rihanna has opened up about her experience with postpartum hair loss in a recent interview with Refinery29. The singer, who shares two sons with A$AP Rocky, shared her surprise at this unexpected part of her postpartum journey.
“That was not on the pamphlet,” Rihanna said, referring to the hair loss. “I did not expect it to happen in waves. I thought it would just happen and grow back.”
The 36-year-old artist revealed that she has come to accept her hair loss as a part of her postpartum experience. “I learned to embrace that in itself,” she admitted. This acceptance led her to become more creative with her hair styling.
Rihanna’s comments come shortly after the launch of her latest beauty venture, Fenty Hair, on June 13. She has always been known for experimenting with her looks. “You know how much switching my hair up matters to me,” she said.
She explained that she has tried almost every texture, color, and length of hair, from weaves to braids to natural styles. This inspired her to create a versatile line of hair products designed to strengthen and repair all types of hair. “Every single product is designed to strengthen and repair all types of hair, which is what we truly need,” she explained.
In another interview with E! News, Rihanna addressed rumors about having a third baby. “I don’t think I ever had one but still. Let me go to Carnival one summer? Please, one summer,” she joked. However, she did not completely dismiss the idea of expanding her family. “I would not be mad… I would just cry out of pure anxiety for one day and then I think I’ll just get over it the next,” she said.
Rihanna’s candid reflections provide a glimpse into her personal life and her commitment to empowering others through her beauty products.
