Jada Pinkett Smith Shares Her Experience with Alopecia
As per sources, Alopecia is an autoimmune disorder that causes extreme hair fall in a person. Sometimes the hairs fall off in bunches that look like quarters. The effect of this disease is different for different human bodies.
For example, some people face hair loss on some spots on the head whereas some lose all the hair. For some people, the hair grows back and then falls again whereas for some the hair may permanently grow back on their head.
In Alopecia, the immune system of the human body attacks this disease for protection. Therefore the attack is done on the hair follicles that results in massive hair fall.
The report says that during the Red Table Talk episode, in the year 2018, Jada Pinkett has talked about her autoimmune disorder i.e., Alopecia.
She said, “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 bold?’”
