Jada Pinkett Smith has been open about her alopecia condition, and on Monday, August 7, she took to Instagram to give her fans an update on her hair’s “come back”.
In two side-by-side selfies, Pinkett Smith showed off her progress, captioning the post: “This here hair is act’n like it’s try’n a make a come back. Still have some trouble spots but — we’ll see. Slide 1: Past Slide 2: Present.”
Unfortunately, the conversation around her hair was brought to the forefront during the 2002 Academy Awards, when her husband, Will Smith, was nominated for Best Actor. Host Chris Rock made a joke about her hair loss, and Smith retaliated by walking up on stage and slapping him.
Will Smith was banned from the Academy Awards for 10 years following his actions, and it wasn’t until Chris Rock’s Netflix special, “Selective Outrage”, that he spoke out about it.
Rock said: “His wife was f–ing her son’s friend…she hurt him way more than he hurt me. Everybody called that man a b–-, they called his wife a predator…And who’s he hit? Me! A n–- he knows he can beat [up].”
Pinkett Smith has been a beacon of hope for those with alopecia, and her courage and determination to share her story has been an inspiration to her fans.
