"We had similar journeys. Even for me, it was a mixture of a spiritual calling and also going, at some point, your hairline is going to be back here ... so we might as well just do it now," Jada explained of her decision."So it was taking that leap. But so many things I've discovered about myself. It's been such a freeing ... so much just lifted off of me. The time is now. [Willow] was like, 'Just do it mom, you've been wanting to do it for so long.
When asked by Haddish how Will Smith responded, she said he"loved it" -- before viewers got a peek at the text message Will sent Willow after seeing a photo."Stunningly beautiful," he wrote to his daughter. "I had been talking about shaving my head for a while. It was just time. I was just ready for that kind of expression and release. I'm so glad I did it, it was such a beautiful experience and such a freedom," Jada added."I feel more connected to myself and the Great Divine. It was a huge, huge, huge release. I was just like, I'm over it. It was that moment, I was just done. Done with the worry, done with the care, I'm just done.
Both Willow and Jada then shared a few professional experiences with haircare that left a bad taste in their mouths, as the hairstylists assigned to them were inexperienced with working with Black hair -- something which is unfortunately all too common in the entertainment industry. "There was a very high fashion photoshoot and all of the white models were getting their hair done, they all had somebody. The person that was supposed to do my hair came, looked at it and tried to do something to it. I could tell they were extremely perturbed," Willow explained, noting that they clearly didn't know what they were doing."That anxiety made me feel like I'm gonna take the reins on this.
