Jada’s Turbans:

If you’ve seen Jada lately, you may have noticed she’s been wearing a lot of turbans. For celebrities like Erykah Badu and Nick Cannon, turbans have often been a fashion statement. However, the situation is a bit different for Jada. During the third webisode of “Red Table Talk,” the ladies opened up about body insecurities and the “Girls Trip” star opted to share her own story. Jada revealed the real reason behind the new look, and stated: “A lot of people have been asking why I’ve been wearing turbans. Well, I haven’t talked about it. It’s not easy to talk about, but I am going to talk about it.”

Check out the episode below:

Losing Hair:

Jada went on to recall the first terrifying moment she discussed she was suffering from hair loss. She recalled the day she discovered it, while doing something we all do daily. During the discussion, Jada recalled the shower that changed her life. She described the terrifying hair loss, explaining how clumps of hair were in her hands. “It was terrifying when it first started. I was in the shower one day and had just handfuls of hair in my hands and I was just like, ‘Oh my god, am I going bald?’ It was one of those times in my life where I was literally shaking in fear.” She revealed her short, cute hairdos aren’t always by choice.

“That’s why I cut my hair, and why I continue to cut it.” She continued, “Taking care of my hair has been a beautiful ritual and having the choice to have hair or not. And then one day to be like, ‘Oh my god, I might not have that choice anymore.'” So, of course, the discussion led to another question that many fans are probably asking: What’s the cause of Jada’s hair loss?

The Cause?:

As expected, she’s undergone tests to try to figure out what’s causing the hair loss. To make matters worse, she revealed her doctors are completely baffled by her condition, because none of the tests have been able to determine the cause. “I’ve gotten every kind of test there is to have. They don’t know why.” However, she’s not letting the condition control her life. Jada explained how she’s managed to cope with the unknown condition, turning a negative situation into something positive and empowering.

Now, she “really had to put it into a spiritual perspective, like the higher power takes so much from people. People are out here with cancer. People have sick children. I watch the higher power take things every day. When my hair is wrapped I feel like a queen. I love having a wrapped head.”

Best of luck to Jada Pinkett-Smith and props to the beautiful actress for sharing her story.
