Hailey Bieber Advises Postpartum Moms to Not Rush a New Haircut

There’s something about major life shifts that sparks the urge for a fresh look—like the infamous breakup haircut. And for new moms, postpartum can bring that same itch: snip off the past, reshape your identity, maybe even feel a bit more in control amid the chaos. But as Hailey Bieber gently reminded one new mom this week, it might be worth waiting until the hormones settle before grabbing the scissors.

“Hailey Bieber makes me want to cut my hair,” TikTok user and new mom Melody Miles confessed in a video while feeding her baby. “But I just know that if I cut it, it will not look like how she looks with short hair. I will look awful,” she added with a laugh. To Miles’ surprise, the style icon herself chimed in.

“You would look stunning, but let’s hold hands and agree to not make any big hair decisions postpartum,” Bieber commented. “Personally giving myself at least a year!” Moms in the comments quickly rallied around the advice. “I remind myself to not be inspired by anyone who has a stylist,” wrote one. “With so much love, don’t cut it,” added another.

This isn’t the first time Hailey has offered advice that resonates with moms. From pregnancy to postpartum, the model and entrepreneur has stayed candid, stylish and relatable—proving that even with the spotlight on her, she’s navigating motherhood just like the rest of us.

Hailey and Justin Bieber announced the arrival of their son on August 23, posting a minimalistic photo of his newborn’s tiny foot with the simple caption “Welcome home. Jack Blues Bieber.”

A classic name given a bit of a twist with Blues, the name Jack came about in medieval England as a variation of John, meaning “God is gracious,” and Jacob, meaning “supplanter,” or “holder of the heel.” Jack is also thought to have Celtic origins where it traditionally means “healthy” and “strong.”

Hailey and Justin Bieber first announced they were expecting in May. The model and musician shared the news on Hailey’s Instagram, posting a dreamy, film-style video of their vow renewal in a sun-soaked field with Hailey in a long, lacy dress with a veil, cradling her bump, and Justin in a backwards baseball cap, true to form.

The couple tied the knot in a secret ceremony in September 2018 in a New York City courthouse, just two months after getting engaged, according to People. They later had a larger celebration with friends and family in South Carolina.
