Jada Pinkett Smith does not have alopecia

DL's hairdressers have remained oddly silent on this issue. That's right, it's an issue.

This is already being talked about in the "Do we believe Jada has alopecia?" thread WHICH YOU POSTED IN.

R2 Just raising awareness.

Alopecia is common in black women. Has a lot to do with harsh hair treatments and wig wearing. It’s a legit condition and I don’t doubt that she suffers from it. Whitney Houston did, too.

That said: Will Smith seems mighty crazy. That’s a legit condition, too.

R4 That does not mean that Jada can shave her head and claim to have it.

They're both fake. He's a fake slapper she's a fake baldy.

[Quote]That does not mean that Jada can shave her head and claim to have it.

Well, if a man can put on a dress and claim to be a woman....

R7 Always relevant lol

Don’t 👏EVER 👏talk 👏about black women’s hair.

A man was viciously sissy-slapped for it last night.

You can still see the bald patches of alopecia on a shaved head. I don't think Jada would be able to get away with painting them over under HD cameras and flashbulbs. It would show.

The clapping hands emojis will never not make me laugh, haha!

That’s traction alopecia which is different than alopecia areata. Tractional comes from years of braiding, weaves, tight hairstyles, etc. Alopecia areata is genetic with patchy to complete hair loss. Jada has the former not the latter.

Alopecia areata is pretty uncommon, actually. We all probably have known one or two people who actually had it as a legitimate medical condition.

My sister dated a man who had ZERO hair anywhere; no eyelashes or eyebrows. Now THAT is alopecia and it sucks that this sour cunt is appropriating it for some kind of defense of her maniac husband.

i know someone who had stress-induced alopecia; his hair fell out in patches. if he’d shaved it, you would have seen bald patches amongst the black roots. With her I just see a shaved head with uniform roots. 🤔

R14 here - just to add, her shaved head looks really good, actually. She looked wonderful in that dress. I’m not sure what all the drama was about.

She does not have alopecia. Shades of Jussie Smollett.

If you doubt, you’re a misogynist racist.

R15, I think so, too. There aren’t too many women who can look good with a shaved head. Jada is one of the few. She shouldn’t be all victim-y about it. She should shrug it off and own it.

Actually, she should just go and live herself a quiet millionaire life, but.

Jada does have alopecia.

Jada has always been about attracting attention with victimization bullshit since her acting career went tits up decades ago.

R16, racism combined with misogyny is misogynoir. Failure to know this is itself an instance of misogynoir.

R20 I thought misogynoir was misogyny from black men toward black women.

I am NOT Sinéad O'Connor. It's a condition.

She was lucky that's the only joke he made about her

R23 It was a tepid joke.

Jada Pinkett Smith's crusty old ass starring as a Navy Seal recruit! He was complimenting her.

(Stabs OP right in the labia)

KEEP JADA’S NAME OUT OF YOUR MOTHERFUCKIN THREAD!

Making fun of anyone's appearance on national TV is on?

It's alopecia areata. The type where hair loss happens in patches. Not alopecia totalis where you lose all your hair.

The Oscars would like to thank all the crisis actors to act out this kerfuffle, and all the gullible, fat people who fell for it.

I logged onto Twitter this morning and saw loads of people saying that Chris Rock was ableist cos of his comments. Since when was alopecia a disability?? Is anyone gonna tell The Rock??

She is terrible with or without hair. That whole family of smug Scientologists can fuck off.

R29 Ablenoir!

She hates white people. She passed her racism onto her daughter.

She’s been shaving her head for decades. Who does this dyke think she’s fooling?

People don't know what alopecia is and think she's dying of hair cancer.

The whole Smith family are weird. Remember Jada publically sharing that her grandmother taught her how to masturbate when she was only 9?

She has a bad case of resting bitch face.

Jada does have Alopecia, but it’s actually just the name of her daughter.

[quote]It's alopecia areata. The type where hair loss happens in patches.

Exactly and sometimes parts of it start to grow, sometimes it happens in new areas, sometimes it thins out all of the hair on your head.

That "line" Jada had on her head a while ago she used to demonstrate she had alopecia has grown back but that doesn't mean she can just grow her hair out again because that portion may not grow back the same, her hair might fall out in spots again, it's annoying to deal with.

Comedians roast people. In the old days, people would have taken this. Now, not so much. Why it was a tasteless joke Smith apparently needs a lot of safe spaces.

What he should have said is that her dress made her look like the Swamp Thing.

She just doesn’t want to wear a wig.

I would have stood up and chortled 'damn straight, producers, call me!'

Dyke haircut for a dyke.

Uh oh

Her alopecia is about as real as MJ’s vitiligo 🤥

,,,,,,,

[quote]Alopecia areata (autoimmune-related) occurs in patches or sometimes circles, but not sharp lines.

You're wrong.

1. I have it.

2. It's called linear alopecia when it does that.

People really just come on here act like they know something with their whole chest.

Then you must be one of 11 cases in the world with this, r48. Linear alopecia is extremely rare and is most are connected to lupus. Do you also have lupus r48?

He has Cuntington's disease. Where you are so cunty your hair starts to fall out.

The real tragedy is that hideous dress. She looks like a christmas tree thrown out at the curb on new years day.

I have a blonde Caucasian friend with alopecia from an autoimmune disease. Her hair looks similar to Jada’s. (she does have some hair and it looks like it’s shaved). It was falling out in clumps a couple of years ago, so she decided to shave it. I don’t know if having it short, almost bald, helps (maybe the weight of the hair makes it fall out more). Everyone thinks that my friend has cancer when she goes out.

I feel like she always worn her hair close cropped and short. Off to google to see old photos.

Even celebrities can be illness fakers. It’s not just flyover fraus.

She the boodaker answer to Amber Rose.

R56 She claims to have Alopecia Aleata.

is it *possible* that Jada has a very rare type of alopecia that has only ever made her hair fall out in patterns resembling surgical scars? yes, of course

but it’s not fucking likely is it let’s be real

r56, wow so original you are. No one has ever said that here at the DL. Amazing. You poor dear. Don't get mad because someone faced you, fraucunt. You are WRONG on everything relating to this issue with Jada but being wrong is something that is a normal thing for you, hon.

She absolutely has alopecia. Her hairline has moved back significantly.

I don't know what you all are talking about

Again r60 that is from traction alopecia. There is a difference.

The subject of this thread is "Jada Pinkett Smith does not have alopecia." That is false. Several posters have insisted she has no hair loss, she only shaves her head. Also false--her hairline has significantly receded. She claims her hair has fallen out in clumps before and that she has seen growth and loss in patches. No one here has any way of knowing whether that's accurate, but the only evidence that it's not accurate is the false claim that she doesn't have alopecia.

Shifting the goalpost to say "oh, well, it's a different kind of alopecia, not this other kind" does not stop this thread subject and several of its posts from being bullshit.

Poor Jada. If she does have alopecia, I feel really sorry for her.

I don’t know about anyone else, but for me, my hair was my crowning glory, because I had gotten it so long and it was super healthy.

Having had to shave it all off has been almost devastating. Not quite devastating, but almost.

Yeah, I don’t have alopecia, and it is growing back, but I know it’s taking me a year to 18 months to get any decent length, and it will be 2 years before I have it down to where it was previously.

Wearing wigs SUCKS, especially when it’s warm out. I have a whole new appreciation for women who have done this, because hair is such a huge deal for self confidence.

Anyhow, take care of your hair and scalp, people. Eat healthy and use natural products whenever possible.

I watch inspo vids and then I go and deep condition my hair with Jamaican Black Castor Oil and rinse it with rice water, making sure to pop vitamins and collagen powder every morning, until it grows the fuck back, because ain’t no woman wanna run around with a bald ass head.

Hugs to you, Miss Jada. And yep. You’re hubby’s an idiot.

She does NOT have alopecia which is an auto immune disease. Those with genuine alopecia also lose their eye brows and lashes.

She has common hair loss.

[quote] Shifting the goalpost to say "oh, well, it's a different kind of alopecia, not this other kind" does not stop this thread subject and several of its posts from being bullshit.

You have no idea what you’re talking about, and the fact you believe a celebrity unquestioningly proves it.

Thank you, r65. So many enables and dumb cunts here trying and FAILING to spin Jada's plight.

R65 Stop with your ignorant bullshit. There are different types of alopecia, and none of them are called "genuine alopecia."

[quote]Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes your hair to come out, often in clumps the size and shape of a quarter. The amount of hair loss is different in everyone. Some people lose it only in a few spots. Others lose a lot. Sometimes, hair grows back but falls out again later. In others, hair grows back for good.

This person has alopecia areata and a shaved head.

[...]

[quote]She absolutely has alopecia. Her hairline has moved back significantly.

That's plastic surgery not alopecia.

Bitch probably has lice.

There are closeups of her head stubble. Some of it is white, because she’s of a certain age. There are no bald spots. I don’t see any damn alopecia.

I don’t know what she’s playing at, except the usual VICTIM bullshit.

From a strictly aesthetic viewpoint, she looks fantastic with hair that short.

[Quote] I don’t know what she’s playing at, except the usual VICTIM bullshit.

Like all narcists it's attention they want. Her family is infested with them.

Never relax. Your hair. Those chemicals are NASTY and after several decades they can fuck up your follicles. That and glue for wigs. That little patch is obviously a glue line and if you put glue on your head for many years you can expect consequences.

Her hair is fine like that. The dress looks like an ever-hungry caterpillar cosplay, however.

Have any of you dumbasses thought for just one second about the possibility micropigmentation?

What aren’t you flamers attacking that lush store bought face?

Further to my point

I only know her as Will Smith’s wife, and I initially thought the G.I. Jane joke was referring to it as the last movie she was seen in (I knew it was Demi, but thought she maybe had a supporting role)

even white women's hair falls when you over peroxide it. bottle blonds lose or get thinning hair and sometimes you can shave it off and start all over again unless you wreak hair follicles.

Is micropigmentation like this? Gee, why don’t all follically-challenged people do that?

[quote]even white women's hair falls when you over peroxide it. bottle blonds lose or get thinning hair and sometimes you can shave it off and start all over again unless you wreak hair follicles.

I remember when Madonna was asked why she chose a short haircut for The Girlie Show, and she said that she had been dying her hair so much around that time (during her brief Pippi Longstocking phase) that at one point her pigtails just snapped off, so she basically gave herself a haircut whether she wanted it or not.

[quote]Honestly I thought Alopecia was the name of one Will & Jada’s children

R81 That would show in red carpet pictures.

Anyone ever consider the fact that perhaps Jada is not human but rather Deltan?

It would further explain the hyperactive sex drive.

I have male pattern baldness which is also a condition. I never slapped anybody for when they made jokes or comments about my hair loss.

R51 I actually loved it. She styled it as well as it can be. With all that ruching and extra fabric and a high neckline, a clean shaved head and just one big piece of jewelry balanced it out.

She looked like an alien queen, but glamorous instead of Tilda Swinton-y.

Oh please. If someone made the same joke about Sinead O’Connor or Rose McGowan, nobody would be defending them ardently.

And Jada shaved her head for the same reason they did. Hint: Britney Spears is a member of that particular club as well.

R91 This has that stink all over it.

R91, are they lesbiterians?

R93 They're Lebanese, Rose.

R94 So creative and original. Posting from ten million years ago. Call an archaeologist.

Caviar

Midsize car

Pinot Noir!

Attention whore

R95 Fine, they're from Lesbania. It's in Europe.

I'm announcing today that I do not have alopecia either.

OP, there's no way you can know she doesn't have alopecia. I know from experience it can come and go. And why would someone lie about such a thing?

I had alopecia areata (baldness in patches) as a kid. I have always had great, thick hair and still do today in my 50's. When I was around 13, a bald area developed on the back of my head. Eventually it was very large, and was completely slick. It was probably the size of a softball. There were also a few other small, quarter and nickel-sized patches elsewhere on my scalp. I remember the dermatologist telling me that it was possible that I'd lose all my hair on my head, and body if it developed into alopecia totalis, (total baldness). I suffered with this on and off for about three years. I got injections under my scalp and UV light treatments. It would come and go. The hair would grow back, starting as peach fuzz and eventually developing back into my normal hair. Then, another bald patch would appear. I was tortured by it, especially as a young gay boy who was already the target of bullying. Eventually it all grew back. I had a recurrence of it in my 20's, but only the small patches. I haven't had any problem with it since then.

I have a friend who did the micropigmentation all over his bald head and it looks great! It looks like he shaves his head

[quote] And why would someone lie about such a thing?

You can’t be serious. People lie about the dumbest things possible— for attention, for pity, for money, for status, to cover up something else, to compensate for their shortcomings.

Jada is likely experiencing hair loss due to years of harmful treatments (wigs, weaves, relaxer) and because she is getting older, seeing hormone fluctuations, and going through menopause. That’s it. She would rather play it off as an illness she had no choice over than admit it was due to destructive beauty standards.

A neighbor of mine has for decades done drastic changes to her hair from extreme colors to hair relaxers and braids and now in her 50s she has significant hair loss, while her older sister who was never a hair fashionista has a full healthy hair of head.

I really can't stand her and I'm sorry two nice men got in a fight over her stupid looking haircut.

R93, they’re mentally ill attention seekers with oppositional disorder as a feature. Perpetual victims.

I forgot Demi Lovato.

R91 what's the reason then?

I don't know if she genuinely has alopecia or not, I would tend to think she has because she's a notorious over-sharer (exhibit: the clip someone posted above from her Red Table show) so I don't see why she would claim it if it wasn't true.

Regardless, I think she looks amazing with a shaved head, and I thought that dress was cute too.

R102 have you ever had it? I have.

She has eyebrows and eyelashes and no bald patches on her head. Lots of black women shave their heads as a fashion statement. If you have a nice head, It can look beautiful. Jada has the head and face for it but she is as much of an asshole as her husband.

Black women, whether slim or heavy, can pull off the shaved bald head look. They can look beautiful. White women, unless they have delicate features and good bone structure, can't pull it off as easily.

Yeah R109 when white women do it we look like cancer patients.

Gurl them edges are weak

I once slept with a co worker who had alopecia . He was 22 when I met him. He didnt have a hair anywhere on his body. I found it strangely sexy . He said it was hard to get laid because people were freaked out about it.

If this bitch doesn't have alopecia...

I believe she does have alopecia. Looking at the photo at R114, there's no sign of follicles towards the front. Her "hairline" has moved pretty far back. I also have alopecia with the same pattern. The front has no follicles and whatever hair I have left is more in the back. Even the remaining hair is extremely thin and patchy all around. It really sucks. I wear a lot of hats now...never was a hat person. Even a thick headband doesn't cover it anymore. I don't like her, but I understand what she's going through. However, Will's reaction is never right.

[quote] there's no sign of follicles towards the front. Her "hairline" has moved pretty far back.

Common in women with traction alopecia, which is the result of stress on the hair from wigs, weaves, and too tight hairstyles. Traction alopecia hair loss is almost always concentrated on the front hairline/forehead and temples. See Jojo Siwa.

Jada was born a boy. He got the chop. Will loves his hubby's lil nub.

R59 I've had that R56 frau cunt on block for some time. She's an expert on everything. Just remove her from existence.

Pfizer and Eli Lilly, who both happened to sponsor the Oscar’s, are both at the end of trials for their new alopecia drugs. It’s almost like they knew the Oscar’s would bring attention to alopecia. What luck!

Unless alopecia means you like to fuck women, no she does not have it. She has a tiny bald spot, the size of a dime or less.

Cunty Jada should forever be known as Pecia Pinkett Smith.

It's TOO even. I have wondered if she got that tattoo/microblading technique that bald men get to look like they have a full barely-there head of stubble.

[quote]her grandmother taught her how to masturbate when she was only 9

Wouldn't this be considered sexual abuse by today's standards, and why did she think her daughter wanted that visual forever stuck in her head?

If she has hair loss she did it to herself. Besides a lot of women, over 50 start losing their hair. All women get thinning hair as they age. I'm 72 and although I don't have bald spots, my hair is really thin. And it shows. If someone made a joke about my thinning hair It wouldn't bother me and I would probably laugh.

R124, my late MIL had incredible thick hair, into her 70s. She was really lucky. She was saggy and wrinkled, but she had beautiful hair. It was thick and full of body. I promise it wasn’t a wig. Her sister does, too. Her brothers were not as lucky. Irish.

fuck, R100 - this makes me glad my only (visible) autoimmune condition is psoriasis on my hands and forearms! the bullying from those little shits in middle school/high school must have been horrendous!

R126… i failed to mention that psoriasis of the hands/fingers is extremely painful (it involves cracking and bleeding and loss of skin in an area that has a lot of nerve endings and is used and exposed constantly) but still - in my early teens i think i would have preferred that over visible hair loss that my peers would have been total fucking shits about… :/
