Jada Pinkett Smith Opened Up About Hair Loss on TikTok Days Prior to Oscars
“Being a black woman and dealing with hair in Hollywood, especially in the era that I came up in…having your hair look as European as possible was alwaysthing,” Jada explained. “And that was really challenging, you know, because I liked my hair out, wild, and curly, but nobody wanted that.”
Jada explained, “I always had to do my hair in ways that didn’t feel natural to me, because I was trying to play the game,” noting that Hollywood executives preferred her hair “straight and flowy.” She goes on to clarify “that’s not really what my hair likes to do,” and tells followers that she eventually learned to gather enough courage to tell people “Nah, I’m not doing that.”
Jada noted that this courage she gained years ago in saying “no” is why she feels a sense of freedom now. “I don’t give two craps what people think about this bald head of mine, because guess what? I love it.”, noting the multitude of feelings that accompanied her hair loss in the beginning stages. The actress decided to shave her head, with the support of her daughter, Willow.
And whether or not there’s hair on her head, one thing’s for sure: Jada is beautiful inside and out. We are inspired by the actress’ courage and self-love, and can’t wait to see what’s up next for the star.This content is created and maintained by a third party, and imported onto this page to help users provide their email addresses.
