Y'all know I've been struggling with alopecia and just all of a sudden one day, look at this line right here. Look at that. So it just showed up like that and this is going to be a little bit more difficult for me to hide. So I thought I'd just share it so y'all are not asking any questions."

She captioned the post as, "Mama's gonna have to take it down to the scalp so nobody thinks she got brain surgery or something😜 Me and this alopecia are going to be friends ... period!😆 "

Earlier, Pinkett also shared pictures with her daughter Willow who also shaved off her signature braids in July 2021. The actress told her fans that she will "put some rhinestones" on her scalp and make herself a "little crown."

"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 bald?'" She added that she found treatments to slow the process but was also open to "other ideas."

On the work front, she was last seen in The Matrix Resurrections, alongside Carrie Anne Moss and Keanu Reeves.
