Despite being the undisputed queen of meticulously crafting her public image Kim Kardashian recently found herself caught up in a little white lie — or perhaps a gray one on this occasion

The slipup happened on Monday during an appearance on Live With Kelly and Ryan where Kim bragged about having never found a single gray hair on her head

The discussion began with cohost Ryan Seacrest quizzing Kim on how she maintains her platinum locks prompting the Skims founder to lift the lid on the lengthy process that goes into bleaching her naturally dark roots

When I dye my roots it s gonna take probably eight hours so I ve just been lazy she said It s so much work

The trio then moved onto the topic of gray hair with Kim quick to say she s yet to reach that milestone

I have not gone gray yet Kim said failing to mask the beaming grin on her face I haven t had a gray hair yet isn t that weird

youtu.be

Well Kim since you asked Some might say that yes that is weird — or certainly a tad unusual at least

According to trichologist Madeleine Preston — who was interviewed on the topic by Cosmopolitan — the majority of women are bound to see a few gray hairs in their 30s and by the age of 50 most would expect to have more than 50% of their scalp hairs turn gray

Of course this wildly varies among women but being that Kim is nearly 42 she d be doing pretty well to have not found a single gray hair by this point

Which is where things get a little awkward

A quick Google search will tell you that Kim actually got her first gray in 2018 at 37 years old — and funnily enough she broke the news while chatting on Live With Kelly and Ryan that year

At the time of her appearance Kim s then-husband Kanye West who has legally changed his name to Ye had been at the center of attention following a number of heated Twitter tirades and controversial interviews including one where he famously claimed that slavery was a choice

Kim came to her husband s defense in the wake of the backlash and joked during her appearance on Live With Kelly and Ryan that he d caused her so much stress that she d gone gray

He s doing really good she said of Ye He s in Wyoming recording he has a couple of albums coming out so he s just focused on that

youtu.be

I will say she added with a smirk he gave me my first gray hair this week and I am blaming that on him

youtu.be

Having been through a lot of trauma — and notably a divorce — in the four years since that interview Kim could certainly be excused for having forgotten about that one particular gray

However the receipts don t end there

If you told me that I literally had to eat poop every single day and I would look younger I might I just might she said to the disgust of many
