Rihanna Shares Struggles With Postpartum Hair Loss

Rihanna learned how to tame her hair troubles.

The multi-hyphenate recently opened up about experiencing postpartum hair loss after welcoming her sons RZA, 2, and Riot, 10 months with A$AP Rocky.

"That was not on the pamphlet," Rihanna told Refinery29 in an interview published June 12. "I did not expect it to happen in waves, either. I thought it would just happen and grow back."

The "Lift Me Up" singer shared that patches of hair fell off in different places around her head. And although she had "enough" of it, she also came to accept this part of her postpartum journey.

"I learned to embrace that in itself," she admitted. "That actually made me get a little more creative and clever with my hair stuff."

Rihanna's hair loss revelation comes after she announced her latest beauty venture: Fenty Hair, which launches June 13 with a variety of essentials for every type of strand.

"A new family is moving in!" Rihanna captioned her June 4 Instagram. "Fenty Hair is pullin up and it's time to finally have the hair experience you've been waiting for."

Since the 36-year-old is known for experimenting with her looks, she wanted her products to work for every situation.

"You know how much switching my hair up matters to me," Rihanna continued. "I've had almost every texture, color, length, from weaves to braids to natural—so I am launching a flexible line of products for not only every hair want, but every single product is designed to strengthen and repair all types of hair, which is what we truly need!"

As she put it, "It's time to play and get stronger by the style."

Rihanna—who has been rocking her natural curls lately—doesn't plan to mess up her tresses any time soon, which means she's not thinking about baby No. 3...just yet.

"Can I get my six-pack back first?" the mom of two joked to E! News' Justin Sylvester at the launch party for Fenty Hair June 10. "I don't think I ever had one but still. Let me go to Carnival one summer? Please, one summer."

Of course, that's not to say she's ruling out another child, it's just not on her agenda these days.

"I would not be mad," she said about expanding her family. "I would just cry out of pure anxiety for one day and then I think I'll just get over it the next."
