Kylie Kelce is getting real about a unique and deeply personal sign that tells her something's off during postpartum recovery and it starts with a haircut. On a recent episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, the mom of four revealed the emotional boundary she set with her stylist that helps her recognize when she might need help.
Kylie Kelce's unexpected postpartum red flag: The urge to cut her hair
Postpartum experiences vary for every mom, but for Kylie Kelce, there's one unusual indicator that things may not be okay: the urge to chop her hair. During a heartfelt chat with guest Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Kylie shared that she made a pact with her hairstylist—also her husband Jason Kelce's barber—not to let her get the classic 'mom cut.'
'I told her, 'If I ever come to you and ask for a shorter haircut, I need you to, like, take me to the doctor's office,' Kylie said.
Kylie, 33, who welcomed her fourth child, daughter Finnley, in March, explained that while she loves her long hair, it becomes a target when she's overwhelmed, sleepless, and hormonal. 'Grounded Kylie knew that was not for her,' she added, recognizing that extreme changes in appearance can sometimes mask deeper emotional challenges.

The emotional honesty didn't end there. Guest Jenni Farley chimed in with her own postpartum regret.
'I did the mom cut, and I hated it,' she said. 'You knew, like, I have long, beautiful blonde hair. I know I'm not touching this s---.'
Kylie went on to acknowledge that she experienced different forms of postpartum emotions with each of her four children—Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and newborn Finnley. 'It's hard to check in with yourself in the moment,' she said.
