Where it says the hair will fall from the heads of those women who are vain. Does anyone know the scripture?

This might be what you are looking for. It discusses how the women of Isaiah's day were vain (without actually using the word) and coming under judgment, which included baldness.
"Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts. In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon, The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, The rings, and nose jewels, The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty." (Isaiah 3:17-24)

It is found in Isaiah 3:16-26 The Lord says,The women of Zion are haughty,......therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion; the Lord will make their scalps bald. vs. 24 Instead of well dressed hair, baldness;
Warning against Vanity.
And BTW Luke 13:3 actually says I tell you nay, but except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish.

I think you are probably referring to the passage in Isaiah 3:24 (16-26 to put it in context). It is a judgment pronounced against the proud women of Judah, the southern Kingdom, in the days of Isaiah.

You cannot look at one piece of scripture and try to read it in plain text, all scripture means something when it is put together with other scripture, and then you understand what God is telling us, if you read it, and try to take it at face value, you'll miss what the Lord is saying.

My husband is good with finding scriptures. I'll ask him when he gets home tonight, then come back and edit my answer to tell you what he says. So check back!
Edit: Sorry, my husband hasn't heard of this one, but apparently other people have so it's ok!

The book of Eccleiasties is full of things with the word " Vanity ". But it would take me too long to find the right one you are looking for. It may be there, OK ?
