Lea Michele Reveals Why She Is Losing Her Hair

There are quite a few reasons to admire Lea Michele. She's a talented actor who also happens to be a skilled singer. She's also earned plenty of accolades and a heck of a lot of money. On top of that, she has the kind of camera-worthy looks and experimental nature that have helped make her a star. "Throughout each new chapter of her career, Lea [has taken] nearly every opportunity in the spotlight to experiment with her looks and figure out what works for her," Teen Vogue noted, while BuzzFeed pointed out that "she always seems to have ~flawless~ skin and makeup."

Indeed, "it turns out, there's nary a hair or makeup style that the star can't pull off," per Teen Vogue. Granted, while Michele has enjoyed plenty of "memorable lipstick moments" over the years, it's perhaps "her brunette hair that never quits" that people envy the most. That hair is such a part of who she is that the star named her book Brunette Ambition. That's why some people might be surprised to find out that the lusciously long-locked famous figure is losing her hair. Here's what Lea Michele had to say about it. 

Fans of Lea Michele will know her as both an actor and a singer thanks to her various onscreen and stage performances, including her role as Glee's Rachel Berry. They'll also know her as someone who is mindful of how she looks and who is open to talking about how she takes care of her outer self. She's also honest when it comes to what she goes through when it comes to her appearance, including the fact that her hair has been falling out.

While there are various reasons for hair loss, Michele's can be linked to the fact that in August 2020, she welcomed a baby boy into the world with her husband, Zandy Reich. In January 2021, the star took to her Instagram stories (via Us Weekly) to tell her followers that "postpartum hair loss is REAL." She also shared a photo of herself that showed her lengthy strands hanging over her shoulders. She added a message alongside the image, writing, "Enjoying this long hair while it lasts because the mom bob is right around the corner."

Luckily for Michele, we have no doubt that she could pull off a super sleek bob.
