Rihanna<\/a> is opening up about her hair journey.<\/p>\n The singer and beauty mogul, 37, spoke about embracing her natural hair on the Couch by Lena Situations<\/a> podcast in an episode that was released on Friday, Oct. 24, but was filmed before her third pregnancy was announced.<\/p>\n For the episode, the star wore a strapless gold dress that was gathered around the middle to help conceal her baby bump.<\/p>\n While promoting her brand Fenty Beauty’s haircare line, Rihanna said that learning to love her hair was a “struggle” that ultimately inspired her products.<\/p>\n “We’ve always been taught to love what you don’t have, especially when it comes to hair,” she explained. “If you have straight hair, you want it to be bigger. If you have big, curly hair, you want it to be straighter and thinner.”<\/p>\n She continued, “That was a struggle for me. Falling in love with my hair again was the biggest inspiration for me to create this brand. I wanted products that not just worked, but more importantly, I wanted them to repair your hair and replenish your hair every step of the way.”<\/p>\n Lena Mahfouf\/Instagram<\/p>\n Rihanna on the Couch by Lena Situations podcast.<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for\u00a0PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/a>\u00a0to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/strong><\/p>\n The “We Found Love” singer also admitted that she’s experienced self-doubt in both her beauty business and when creating music.<\/p>\n “When I make my albums, I get to a point where I think, ‘Wow, I’ve lived with it for so long, I know it works, but now I’m about to give it to the world.
