In 2025, MaKhumalo revealed that she underwent a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure to restore and strengthen her hairline. Choosing to prioritize scalp wellness, she stopped glue-based wig installations and high-tension styling, documenting her progress to show that hair restoration is accessible and empowering for women.
