Jada Pinkett Smith first opened up about her struggle with alopecia in 2018.
Recently, she celebrated her 52nd birthday by revealing a new pink hairstyle, sparking questions from some fans about whether she truly had alopecia or simply chose to shave her head.
Jada, who has been candid about her hair loss due to the autoimmune condition, confirmed her diagnosis in 2021.
During a 2018 episode of “Red Table Talk,” Jada discussed her experience with alopecia, recounting the fear she felt when she began losing clumps of hair.
Faced with the reality of going bald, she decided to shave her head after learning her condition would lead to continued hair loss.
In December 2021, she shared a video showing a mark on her head caused by alopecia, emphasizing her acceptance of the condition.
However, following her husband Will Smith’s altercation with Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, some fans accused Jada of fabricating her alopecia story.
On August 7, 2023, Jada posted a photo showing her hair appearing to grow back, leading to further skepticism. Despite the doubts, many fans continue to praise Jada for her beauty and resilience, regardless of her hairstyle.
