And it is that Will Smith’s wife has been wearing short hair for several years, a very excellent cut that has become her hallmark. However, in December 2021, the actress went beyond her and completely shaved her head , but behind this look , there is a compelling reason that the same actress uncovered on her social networks.
“I’m going to cut everything down to my scalp, so no one thinks I’ve had brain surgery or something,” Jada Pinkett Smith begins in her Instagram video showing off her style. “This alopecia and I will be friends… period!”

Earlier, in 2018, Jada talked about her baldness.
On her Red Table Talk show, she recounted how she started losing her hair . “It’s not easy to deal with,” she said. “I am struggling with hair loss issues. One day I was in the shower, and all of a sudden, I found that I had handfuls of hair in my hands ,” she recalled.

In this way, the 50-year-old actress spoke directly about her condition, which other personalities have already revealed. In 2016, Keira Knightley had been suffering from alopecia for five years, forcing her to wear wigs. For her part, Naomi Campbell has also suffered hair loss from the abuse of using extensions.
