About a year and a half ago I noticed that each time I combed my hair, the comb had a lot of loose hairs in it. This continued, and it seemed to get worse until some bare spots and thin areas were appearing.

During this time I was having my hair washed and set by a hairdresser, who remarked about the hair-loss condition. The suggestion came at this time that I could wear a wig. But I was reluctant to accept any kind of limitation that would infringe on my active expression of my relationship to God.

I called a Christian Science practitioner for treatment. He pointed out to me that because, as God's image and likeness, I was made up of qualities of God, such as joy, integrity, completeness, I could never lose any Godlike good. We discussed the idea that hair expressed the qualities of Soul, and of beauty, and that, as the Bible says, "the very hairs of your head are all numbered" (Matt. 10:30).
