Hairs and Bears

One day, every believer who’s lived with hair loss will stand in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His glorious light, where hairstyles become meaningless and insignificant! Until then, however, the following is given to bridge the gap of understanding between believers with hair and those without.

Cons to hair loss

  • Head sunburns easily, then looks gross when it peels
  • Wearing a hat leads people to believe you’re insecure about your hair loss and are trying to hide it; but that’s not the case… really… it isn’t
  • Collisions with cabinet doors occur without cushioning
  • Hairstyles are fewer, but are more difficult to manage
  • Hair growth on other areas of the body are accentuated, by comparison
  • Becomes a means for identification – “Yeah, he’s the bald guy over there.”
  • Weight gain is rewarded with a new identification – “Yeah, he’s the fat, bald guy over there.”

Pros to hair loss

Consolation concerning hair loss

  • The following verse is God’s gift to believers endeavoring to serve Him to the fullest while living with hair loss:

2Ki 2:23 Then [the prophet, Elisha] went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up the road, some youths came from the city and mocked him, and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”
24 So he turned around and looked at them, and pronounced a curse on them in the name of the LORD. And two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.

So, be kind to your bald brethren.
