Rihanna Admits Self-doubt Hits Her In Both Beauty Empire And Music

She explained that her natural hair journey was a personal challenge that helped shape Fenty Hair.

Rihanna may be the queen of building empires in music, beauty and fashion, but even she isn't immune to questioning herself along the way. While promoting her latest Fenty Beauty release in Paris, the global star made an appearance on the "Couch by Lena Situations" podcast and admitted that self-doubt still creeps in — whether she's launching a new product or working in the studio.

She added, "I experience that with all of my product development. All of them… If you're creative, you're gonna have doubt." So how does the Rihanna move through that uncertainty? "I usually try to step away from it for a little bit and then come back to it with fresh ears or fresh eyes and just reappreciate it for what it is," she explained. A simple reset — even for someone who dominates every industry she touches.

During the same interview, the business mogul also reflected on her personal hair journey and how it fueled one of her latest innovations, Fenty Hair . She said learning to love her natural texture was a "struggle" that took time. "We've always been taught to love what you don't have, especially when it comes to hair," she shared. "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."
