Does Jada Pinkett really have alopecia?
Andrew Hansen 
It usually looks like patches of baldness. Her head just looks like shaved stubble.

Honey, do you really think she would just LEAVE the patchiness like that in the photo there? She shaves the remaining buzz off so the disgusting patchiness doesn't show.

Stubble. And in photos she keeps pointing to what looks like a simple scar, perhaps from childhood.

Honestly, I don't know how she manages to carry on.
Truly a fate worse than death.

She's so honest about everything else in her life.

I'm betting it's more likely traction alopecia from extensions and various straightening treatments, not the kind such as DL fav little Edie Bouvier had.

It’s not so straight forward, everyone is different. Sometimes it’s one patch, sometimes it multiple and it goes back and forth with growing.
But honestly, Jada’s has done the bald thing before. Her hair was near bald in “Scream 2”.

She looks like the 3 am shift at the Jacksonville, Florida Waffle House.

I think she looks fabulous bald, personally, and I hate her guts (even moreso after her humorless reaction to the joke).

It's almost certainly traction alopecia as has been stated up thread. Many black women end up having to deal with this- it's quite common because of their use of chemical relaxants, hot tools for straightening and tight braids hairstyles, all of which stress the follicles to the point where the hair often stops growing or falls out completely.
At this point, most black women are aware that their actions can result in hair loss.... but culturally, the battery of extreme treatments takes precedence. So they roll the dice. Which is fine - your choice, your prerogative.
Some end up intact. And some deal with hair loss later in life.
But for it to be blown into some huge drama.... as though all this just snuck up on her and caught her unawares... is pretty ridiculous. I'm not unsympathetic. But it merits about the same amount of sympathy as someone eating sweets on the daily and then developing Type 2 diabetes. If that person was to walk around saying "But I have a disease" all of the time....you'd be annoyed.

Why would she fake it? Surely they are more unsightly ways of garnering attention.

"She's so honest about everything else in her life."
But by turning herself into a reality star, she has to now constantly reinvent herself, find new problems, new drama, new diseases. Or she'll risk boring the fraus. It's a vicious circle.

She does not have it. She shaved it! Nothing more.

R16, she has been very upfront about losing her hair, and that she shaves it to get control of the situation.

Bullshit r17. Her hair loss is due to bad tracks. My Mom and two aunts have it plus my bf has it. I know how it works.

Diffuse alopecia areata and alopecia areata incognita cause severe thinning—similar in appearance to telogen effluvium.
They can affect the entire head, but the heaviest hair loss with DAA is usually in the back of the head, while AAI’s hair loss is heavier in the temple area.
DAA presents as black dots where the hair used to be; AAI, yellow.
So while not all forms of alopecia cause spotty loss, her own words in a Red Table video linked within a news article I read last night were along the lines of: I’m going to have to get used to this new hairline. In other words, traction alopecia….maybe in conjunction with something else, maybe not.
She also said people used to think she was wearing wigs or weaves, but it was always her real hair. Sure, Jan.

R18, you have a lot of trouble with reading comprehension. Your opinion on the matter is not at all contrary to what I said.

Pinkett Smith has said that despite testing, doctors were unable to find any condition that they could attribute to her hair loss.

She should launch a ribbon campaign to support survivors of alopecia and raise Chris Rock's consciousness. This is a teachable moment.

The Alopecia Ribbon would just be the pin (no ribbon).

The alopecia ribbon would be frayed and slightly shaven.
