At the Red Table this week, Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne Banfield Norris get real about body insecurities and explain why every single body is beautiful in its own way. Be sure to follow Red Table Talk for more episodes!That was the situation for Pinkett Smith. In a 2018 episode of Red Table Talk , a web show she co-hosts on Facebook, the 50-year-old revealed for the first time why she’d kept her hair short.
The Matrix actress recalled the"terrifying" moment when she first noticed she was losing"handfuls of hair" in the shower."It was one of those times in my life where I was literally shaking with fear," she said."That's why I cut my hair and continued to cut it." In 2021, she documented her decision to shave her head on Instagram. “Now at this point, I can only laugh,” she said in her video. “Y’all know I’ve been struggling with alopecia and just all of a sudden one day, look at this line right here.”
In the caption of her video post, she wrote: “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!”There is no cure for alopecia areata. But because it is an autoimmune disease, some of the treatments available, such as corticosteroids, involve suppressing the immune system to stop the body from attacking the hair follicles. These may be administered through injections, topically or orally.
Other forms of treatment involve stimulating hair growth, such as Minoxidil, which may work better for those with less severe hair loss, according to Healthline. However, the success rate differ from patient to patient and hair loss might recur.
