The '''instant scalping hex''' shaves all the hair off a target's scalp. [[Harry Potter]] came across it while browsing the index of ''[[Basic Hexes for the Busy and Vexed]]'' to try to find a way to fight the [[dragon]] he knew he would have to face for the [[First Task]] of the [[Triwizard Tournament]]. He quickly decided it would be ineffective because dragons do not have hair.<ref>''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]'' - Chapter 20 (''The First Task'')</ref>
