Jada Pinkett Smith has challenged critics taking aim at her daughter Willow's decision to shave her head. 
The actress has taken to Facebook to address catty remarks and needless observations from people asking why she allowed her 12-year-old to chop her hair off earlier this year.

Jada begins: 'This subject is old but I have never answered it in its entirety. And even with this post it will remain incomplete.
