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?

Her baby’s a year and a half old (or thereabouts). She didn’t “just” have a baby and is well out of the normal hair falling out postpartum stage.

My hair was falling out a lot over a year ago, and I was dying my hair every 2 months. I went to the doctor and I had a blood test. Turns out I had severe anemia (2ng,mL) , so I have been taking 54 mg of iron most everyday and there’s been an improvement in hair regrowth. She should go to her doctor.

It is a Ferrous Iron deficiency –she should get some blood work done — This happened to me and when I started to take Ferrous Iron you get at CVS the hair falling out stopped.

Judging from the comments, Ms. Jones needs to work on her image. It seems she is not well-liked. I agree that she should check with her doctor about the hair falling out, rather than the assumption as you reported it.

I did same thing and it’s been 9 yrs since I last dyed my hair and it is jus in the last year that it has started to grow back in the front where I lost it. She is gonna have to shave and wear wigs. I wasn’t that brave and didn’t have money or wigs so I’ve had to go without till now. Hopefully it keeps growing.

Wendy on

It is not uncommon for hair to fall out after a woman stops breast feeding or sometimes months after giving birth. It could have absolutely nothing to do with hair dye and more to do with hormones. If this is the case, her hair should be growing back soon after it falls out. The hormones in her body just need to balance out.

She is a dud. I’m embarrassed she is from South Dakota, her poor family.
