Oh No! This is every woman’s worst fear come true, Jada Pinkett Smith has revealed that she is suffering hair loss. She spoke about it on her new digital show, Red Table Talk, where she explained how she discovered that her hair was falling out.
Jada explained about her hair loss, saying, “A lot of people have been asking why I’ve been wearing turbans. Well, I haven’t talked about it. It’s not easy to talk about, but I am going to talk about it. It was terrifying when it first started. I was in the shower one day and had just handfuls of hair in my hands and I was just like, ‘Oh my god, am I going bald?’ It was one of those times in my life where I was literally shaking in fear. That’s why I cut my hair, and why I continue to cut it. Taking care of my hair has been a beautiful ritual and having the choice to have hair or not. And then one day to be like, ‘Oh my god, I might not have that choice anymore.
She added that despite several tests ,she does not know whats causing the issue, saying, “I’ve gotten every kind of test there is to have. They don’t know why.”
How is she coping with this new obstacle in her life? Jada said, “really had to put it into a spiritual perspective, like the higher power takes so much from people. People are out here with cancer. People have sick children. I watch the higher power take things every day. When my hair is wrapped I feel like a queen. I love having a wrapped head.”
