Hailey Bieber has decided to put any hair makeovers on hold until her son, Jack Blues, turns one. The model and business mogul made this decision as part of her postpartum self-care.
Hailey, known for setting trends, has a huge influence on beauty and style. Despite facing frequent criticism on social media regarding her personal life with her husband, Justin Bieber, she remains a fashion icon. As a new mother to Jack, Hailey is also making waves in the mom world. One example is when influencer Melody Miles shared a video while feeding her baby, talking about how Hailey’s chic short hairstyle makes her want to cut her own hair. Melody expressed concern, saying, “Hailey Bieber makes me want to cut my hair, but I just know that if I cut it, it won’t look as good as hers. I’ll look awful.”
In response, Hailey kindly commented on Melody’s post, reassuring her that she would look great with short hair. Hailey also shared her own decision to avoid major hair changes for a year, until Jack turns one. Her comment read, “You would look stunning, but let’s hold hands and agree to not make any big hair decisions postpartum! Personally giving myself at least a year!”
This decision is backed by science. According to a Cleveland Clinic report, hormonal changes during pregnancy can significantly affect a mother’s hair. Postpartum hair loss, caused by hormonal fluctuations after pregnancy, is common and can take anywhere from six to twelve months to stabilize. Hailey’s choice to wait is a thoughtful approach to managing these changes.
Hailey’s advice has resonated with many new mothers who also warned against the “mom chop”—a common urge to drastically cut hair after having a baby. Many women regret making this decision in the postpartum period, proving Hailey’s cautious approach is likely a good one.
