Jada Pinkett Smith

The 52-year-old has been very open about her struggle with alopecia, and how it affected her mental health.

During an episode of 'Red Table Talk', 'The Matrix' star explained that a "spiritual calling" convinced her to shave her head completely when her strands started to fall out.

She said: "It was a mixture of a spiritual calling and also going, at some point, your hairline is going to be back here ... so we might as well just do it now. So it was taking that leap.

"But so many things I've discovered about myself. It's been such a freeing ... so much just lifted off of me. The time is now ... I had been talking about shaving my head for a while. It was just time. I was just ready for that kind of expression and release.

"I'm so glad I did it, it was such a beautiful experience and such a freedom."
