“Oh my gosh, that was not on the pamphlet,” Rihanna confessed while attending her Fenty Hair launch party on June 10. The pop icon, mom to two sons, Rza and Riot, with partner A$AP Rocky, expressed her surprise at the unexpected waves of hair loss.
Rihanna shared her struggle with managing the unpredictable hair loss, stating, “At that point you’re just like alright, enough is enough.” Unfortunately, postpartum and pregnancy-related hair loss are common and often unavoidable due to natural body changes during and after pregnancy.
Dr. Lindsey Bordone explained the causes of hair loss like telogen effluvium, emphasizing the stress the body undergoes during pregnancy and postpartum. However, most people can expect their hair to gradually grow back to its pre-pregnancy thickness within a few months.
Rihanna turned her hair loss into a creative opportunity, embracing different hairstyles during this period. She demonstrated her resilience and ability to adapt by showcasing her short, natural curls in a stunning honey blonde shade at the Fenty Hair launch.
Emulating Rihanna’s attitude, it’s important to embrace changes in our bodies and find creative ways to adapt. Whether it’s postpartum hair loss, aging, or weight fluctuations, accepting and embracing these changes can lead to a positive outlook. And remember, you’re not alone in this journey!
