January Jones: ‘My Hair Is Falling Out in Clumps’

January Jones might have been channeling David Bowie at the SAG Awards Sunday night with her pompadour, but considering she’s a risk taker when it comes to her hair, we can’t exactly say we’re shocked.

After all, this is the same woman who has tried almost as many mane colors as Katy Perry, including blonde, brunette, red and even pink highlights. But she admits hitting the hair dye bottle so often has caused some major damage to her tresses.

“I have been every color and now my hair is falling out in clumps,” the star tells Grazia Daily. “I’m going to have to shave it off and wear a wig.”

So we won’t be surprised if Jones sticks with platinum for now — or at least until her hair recovers. (And no, not because blondes have more fun.) She prefers her bright blonde hue for a more sentimental reason: “My son recognizes me in photos when I am blonde. He says ‘mama.’”

And it isn’t just baby Xander who has a tough time putting a name to a face when Jones isn’t rocking Betty Draper’s signature shade: Other people close to her had no idea who she was when she first went dark brown. “I was suddenly invisible,” she says. “Not just as a celebrity, but to my friends and family. I was like, ‘Come on you guys, it’s me!’” Tell us: Which hair color do you prefer on Jones?

Did she ever figure out who the baby daddy is? It’ll probably take quite a few paternity tests before it is narrowed down.

I agree with a lot of the other comments below, I’m in my mid twenties and I’ve been dying my hair consistently since I was nine and I’ve abused it trust me and I’ve never ever had my hair fall out, especially not in clumps. That sounds worrisome and she should either get a new hairstylist(what are they putting on her hair?) or go to the doctor.

my hair falls out but im under stress alot to

valerie on

Maybe she is under stress from not revealing her son’s father! The truth shall set you free! Keeping a secret is enough to stress anyone!

Cathy on

Why does she have to say who the father is? It’s not my business, and it’s not anyone else’s, except the father’s and her son’s.

dietra on

I definitely prefer her Mad Men hairstyle. I hope she is okay and healthy. She is a great actress on Mad Men.

Anna on

Being anorexic will also make your hair fall out in clumps.

Jac on

You people are something else!!!! Just because YOU don’t know who her son’s father is doesn’t mean she doesn’t know who he is. Also, when has she ever stated that her son’s father is NOT in his life? NEVER ONCE. She keeps her personal life private. Mind your own business and you’ll lead a happier, healthier life.

Kat on

Is this the same woman who ate the umbilical cord after giving birth? Whatever January!
