Brantley Gilbert recently shared a video of his baby boy, Barrett, polishing his motorcycle, and you couldn’t help but notice Barrett’s head full of blonde ringlets. Brantley’s wife Amber is a brunette, and although you might not guess it now since his hair is very short and getting grayer by the day, Brantley says, “I was bleach blonde when I was a baby. And we’re both curly headed. Mine was more like a flip curl thing, you know. I wasn’t curly headed enough. My hair is really, really thick.”
As much as Brantley loves his sons hair, he says, “I talked to my wife though, and I think as much as I don’t want to and I know he’s still a baby, baby, but I think we’re getting close to a haircut. I mean it gets in his face too, you know, and all that. But he’s something else. He is literally just my whole world, him and his mama.”
When Brantley isn’t supervising his son polishing his motorcycle, he’s preparing to release his next album later this year, which will feature his duet with Lindsay Ell, “What Happens in a Small Town.”
Brantley Gilbert – Barrett blonde curls :44
“I was bleach blonde when I was a baby. And we’re both curly headed. Mine was more like a flip curl thing, you know. I wasn’t curly headed enough. My hair is really, really thick. I know you can’t tell it now, cause I’m damn near gray. I’m definitely gray in places, white on my beard. But I see some of these guys out here these days dying it and coloring it. I don’t know man, I put in a lot of work earning this gray it’s kinda hard to cover it up. But I talked to my wife though, and I think as much as I don’t want to and I know he’s still a baby, baby, but I think we’re getting close to a haircut. I mean it gets in his face too, you know, and all that. But he’s something else. He is literally just my whole world, him and his mama.”
