Motherhood can be a hair-raising experience.
Rihanna opened up about one of the surprising realities of postpartum life in a new interview Refinery29 shared on Instagram Wednesday — and fans can’t get enough of her “relatable” comments.
The “Diamonds” singer, 36, chatted with the media outlet at her Fenty Hair launch party on Monday, admitting that hair loss was “not on the pamphlet” before she signed up for motherhood.
Rihanna — who shares sons RZA, 2, and Riot, 10 months, with partner A$AP Rocky — continued, “I did not expect it to happen in waves, either. I thought it would just happen and grow back.”
Instead, the “Umbrella” singer said that she had patches of hair that fell off in different places on her head, sighing, “enough is enough.”
However, she took the experience as an opportunity to switch up her style, adding, “I learned to embrace that in itself. That just actually made me get a little more creative and clever with my hair stuff.”
