The Hair Loss Curse[2] (Calvorio)[1] was a curse that removed the victim's hair or headdress.[4]

History[]

This spell was one of the many dark charms covered in Curses and Counter-Curses, a Dark Arts book written by Professor Vindictus Viridian, along with other curses such as the Jelly-Legs Curse or Tongue-Tying Curse.[2]

Etymology[]

The incantation is most probably derived from the Latin "calvus", meaning "bald".
