Jada Pinkett Smith is changing her look these days. On Monday July 12, the actress debuted with a completely shaved head on her Instagram.
“Willow made me do it because it was time to let go BUT… my 50th birthday is about to be divinely lit with this shed,” she captioned the selfie with her daughter, Willow Smith . In the photo, Pinkett Smith pairs her bald look with a chartreuse sweater and hot pink lipstick, while her 20-year-old daughter leans over her chest.
Willow initially posted the photo with her mother, becoming philosophical with her caption, writing, “A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and in the right place, and when we expect nothing in return. . “
Pinkett Smith has previously opened up about her hair loss issues, specifically in a 2018 episode of the duo’s Facebook Watch series, Red Table Talk. “It was terrifying when it started. I was in the shower one day and just had fistfuls of hair in my hands and I was like, ‘Oh my god am I going bald?’ , she said at the time.
“It was one of those times in my life when I was literally shaking with fear. That’s why I cut my hair, and why I keep cutting it,” the actress continued. “My hair has been a big part of me. Taking care of my hair has been a beautiful ritual and having a choice of whether or not to have hair. And then one day I was like, ‘Oh my god, I couldn’t. – not be that choice anymore. ‘”
