Jada Pinkett Smith‘s alopecia is “good right now” but she never knows when it’s going to flare up again.
The 52-year-old actress has been open about her struggles with hair loss and shaved her head in 2021 in a move to embrace the condition. But now, she’s explaining that she doesn’t seem to have any troubles at the moment but issues can resurface at any time.
“My alopecia, it does its thing, like right now I’m good. We don’t know what next week is going to look like. There are some people that their hair doesn’t grow back, and it’s just gone forever, right? But yeah, I shaved my head because it was a rough patch there,” she told Parade magazine.
Smith explained she wanted to learn to live with the condition and she’s called it a “beautiful journey” towards acceptance.
“There are so many people who feel so much shame around alopecia and I’m like: ‘Man, with my hair or without my hair, I’m going to love what is’. And so that was the whole purpose of that, and I have to say that that has been a beautiful journey for me …, ” she said.
Pinkett Smith previously revealed she was terrified when her hair initially started falling out.
