Hair is present over most areas of the body. Our follicles are the source of these hairs. Although most of them are very fine, the top of the head, the eyebrows, the eyelashes, and the groin are sources of coarser pigmented hair. A tiny muscle is attached to each hair follicle, and can literally make the hair stand on end! Goose flesh is an example of this, when the muscle contracts in an attempt to reduce heat loss and generate body heat. This same muscle (the arrector pili) helps to compress the oil glands, lubricating not only the hair but also the surrounding skin. Specialized hairs, such as eyebrows and eyelashes, prevent dust from irritating the eyes and give symmetry and shade.

When hair loss occurs over the scalp, varying degrees of baldness may develop. Some types are hereditary, others are related to hormonal changes, aging, or the presence of disease. It is important to exclude fungus infections and carefully examine the hair shaft and follicles for signs of disease. Meticulous evaluation of the diet, together with hygienic care of the scalp and the use of appropriate bathing aids can reduce the amount of hair loss and its associated distress. When unusual necessity requires, transplants are even available to restore hair to bald areas. Because of significantly increased heat generated over the scalp, the employment of wigs and hairpieces is best avoided. Contentment with our appearance is a great gift. When all natural health measures are being encouraged, we can certainly be at peace and trust our countenance to the Creator.
