Jada Pinkett Smith is opens up about her hair loss.
The mother of two revealed back in 2018 that she suffers from alopecia, “It was terrifying when it first started. I was in the shower one day and then just handfuls of hair just in my hands … It was one of those times in my life that I was literally shaking with fear.” she said on an episode of Red Table Talk.
And on Tuesday she shared an update on her condition as she posted a video pointing our a faint line on her head, “Now at this point I can only laugh, just all of a sudden one day. Y’all know I’ve been struggling with alopecia, look at this line right here…it just showed up like that. And this is going to be a little bit more difficult for me to hide, so I thought I’d just share it so y’all not asking any questions.”
She captioned the short clip: “Mama’s gonna have to take it down to the scalp so nobody thinks she got brain surgery or something … Me and this alopecia are going to be friends … period!”
Previously in June, Jada decided to shave her head as she stated that her daughter Willow made her do it as it was 'time to let go'
Alopecia Areata is a "disease that develops when the body attacks its own hair follicles (where hair grows from), which can cause hair loss anywhere on the body."
