Jada Pinkett Smith Explains Her Decision To Shave Her Head

Jada Pinkett Smith is rocking a new hairstyle? Not long ago, that wouldn’t have been huge news – after all, the actress was famed for constantly refreshing her look. But this time it’s different: Jada has never looked like this before. And why did she do it? Well, the answer to that question could shock you...

Owning the look

We hope you’re ready! Anyway, for the last few years, you might’ve noticed that Jada has been obscuring her hair in front of the cameras. Yes, the Hollywood star is often pictured wearing some stylish headscarves, owning the look on her Instagram page. What’s under all that fabric now, though?

Hair-free

Honestly? Not that much. Scratch that, actually – there’s nothing at all. We’re serious! Yep, Jada is completely bald at the moment, with her daughter Willow Smith revealing her mom’s new style on social media in July 2021. It’s quite the departure from some of the actress’ past looks on the red carpet, right?

No stranger to the shave

Now the Smith family aren’t strangers to braving the shave. For instance, Jada’s husband Will Smith rocked a bald head when playing the DC Comics character Deadshot in 2016 movie Suicide Squad. And their son Jaden followed suit around three years later, but his trim took place in a very public setting.

Public stunt

You see, Jaden was in the middle of a gig in Canada when he decided to shave his head. The stage essentially became his barbershop, as the crowd watched on in August 2019. We can only imagine their surprise. As for his sister Willow, she’s also known for her dramatic haircuts.
