Alopecia has been a trending topic in recent days as the nation continues to buzz about Will Smith who slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s medical condition. Jada has been using her platform to raise awareness of alopecia, the condition that causes hair loss. As Blavity previously reported, the Hollywood star has been talking about the challenge on her Red Table Talk series.
“Well, I’ve been having issues with hair loss,” the actress said in 2018. “It was terrifying when it first started. I was in the shower one day and then just handfuls of hair just in my hands. … It was one of those times in my life that I was literally shaking with fear.”
