How Rihanna Lost Her Hair After Childbirth

Rihanna is experiencing hair loss after giving birth to two children. The 36-year-old Barbarian singer and entrepreneur spoke about one of the side effects of motherhood at a recent Fenty Hair launch party in Los Angeles on June 12.

As Rihanna brought forth RZA, who is currently two years of age, and Riot, who is just 10 months, she told Refinery29 at the launch party that she was ignorant that this incidental effect was “on the pamphlet” during pregnancy or labor.

“I didn’t expect it to happen in waves,” she said about hair loss adding that she thought “it would just happen and grow back.”

According to Rihanna, she started losing hair in patches post-pregnancy.

“At that point you’re just like alright enough is enough,” she said.

However, Rihanna dealt with the issue by accepting and embracing it. From stylish high ponytails and disheveled long curls to honey-blonde bangs and layers, she became “more creative and clever” with her hairstyles.

During the public promotion of her luxury brand Fenty Hair earlier this week, the singer and beauty mogul revealed a rare glimpse of her real natural curls. In fact, she has even given up wearing wigs in recent times.

ASAP and Rihanna have maintained a close relationship ever since they joined the Diamond Tour in 2013. However, in January 2020, rumors that they were dating surfaced, and two years later, the couple announced that they were planning to have their first child together.

On May 13, RZA was born in Los Angeles, and after a year in February 2023, Rihanna declared she was pregnant with their second child during the Super Bowl. On August 22, they welcomed Riot Rose Mayers into their lives. The couple recently celebrated their eldest son’s birthday in New York on May 11.

Rihanna is currently the wealthiest female music artist in the world, with an estimated net worth of $1.4 billion as of this year. In 2017, she established the cosmetics brand Fenty Beauty and the fashion house Fenty under the Frech conglomerate, making her the first black woman to lead a luxury brand for LVMH.

Despite Her Regrets, Rihanna’s Love For Style Has Always Made Headlines

Launched on June 13, Fenty Hair by Fenty Beauty is “Rihanna’s revolutionary haircare line crafted for every hair type & texture.” Talking about the brand, Rihanna said, “Considering all hair types, considering all of the brands that I’ve been in love with my entire life, I’m thinking, ‘If it’s not better than this one, it can’t work.’”

The singer continued that hair has played a significant role in her evolution as a woman and even as an artist and has been a reflection of her emotions.

“So, it changes a lot and my hair goes through a lot. Making this brand, I had to consider all of those things. I want to look fly, but I want my hair to be healthy. How do I do that? All of my products need to strengthen and repair while I’m out just being fabulous.”
