00:21 Jada writes, "This ain't nothing but a birthday Sherbert surprise within a Virgo sunrise."

00:28 The actress' new hue comes amid her journey with alopecia, a disease that causes hair loss.

00:36 Jada revealed back in 2018 that she had been diagnosed with the condition.

00:48 she showed off some growth, writing, "This here hair is acting like it's trying to make a comeback.

01:00 making peace with the ups and downs of her experience with hair loss, including this post in 2021.

01:08 "I've been struggling with alopecia and just all of a sudden one day,

01:14 look at this line right here. Look at that.

01:20 Look at that. And so it just showed up like that. Now this is going to be a little bit more

01:26 difficult for me to hide. So I thought I'd just share it so y'all not asking any questions,

01:31 but you know, mama's going to put some rhinestones in there."

01:34 So what else does the Girls Trip star have in store for her 52nd year? Well, for starters,

01:41 a new memoir. Jada's book, Worthy, will be released on October 17th. In it, she's promising

01:48 to show a side of herself that fans haven't seen before. As Jada puts it in her announcement for

01:55 the memoir, "The fact that I have in the last four years contributed to the creation and

02:01 perpetuation of falsehoods about myself, in which other untrue narratives were birthed,

02:07 has surely aided in the misunderstandings that surround me." The star is promising to

02:13 take back her narrative and offer a revealing account of her controversial life in Hollywood.
