Recently I was watching an episode of Red Table Talk with Jada Pinket-Smith, her mom Andrienne, and daughter Willow. Jada candidly spoke about experiencing alopecia. She expressed how traumatic the experience has been for her. The doctor did not pinpoint what type of Alopecia, the common types of Alopeia are, Cicatrical (scarring Alopecia), Trichotillomania, Alopecia Areata and Telogen Effluvium to name a few. He also could not tell her the cause. The most common causes of hair loss are: Alopecia, Stress, Birth Control, Thyroid Problems and using the wrong hair care products. All of the above causes can be treated and in some cases hair can possibly grow back with the right treatments. Jada ended the conversation with acceptance stating “its ok to except having Alopecia”. To keep her looks fresh, she enjoys using a variety of hair enhancement products, like, wigs, hair pieces, color etc. she considers this process to be essential to her personal style.
