- Telogen effluvium. In telogen effluvium (TEL-o-jun uh-FLOO-vee-um), significant stress pushes large numbers of hair follicles into a resting phase. Within a few months, affected hairs might fall out suddenly when simply combing or washing your hair.
- Trichotillomania. Trichotillomania (trik-o-til-o-MAY-nee-uh) is an irresistible urge to pull out hair from your scalp, eyebrows or other areas of your body. Hair pulling can be a way of dealing with negative or uncomfortable feelings, such as stress, tension, loneliness, boredom or frustration.
- Alopecia areata. A variety of factors are thought to cause alopecia areata (al-o-PEE-she-uh ar-e-A-tuh), possibly including severe stress. With alopecia areata, the body's immune system attacks the hair follicles — causing hair loss.

Do not -
- get a hair transplant - it just doesn't work long term;
- get a hair patch/ wig - they cause one to itch and don't give you a natural hairline and therefore look fake + cheap (the one that comes with a front hairline does not last more than 4-6 months and costs a BOMB)
There are serious side effects to finasteride.
Well wisher.
Minoxidil is very very safe. But, Finasteride should be used under Doctor's reccomendation.
Both drugs combined together works like magic.
Now its balding, then it could lead to death (a LI coverage that has been (made to) vanished somewhere)
Leave the reason for the slow poison. Leave this profession.
But again, that is diverting from the issue- it doesnt solve the problem. It is victim blaming.
we need to form lawyer unions like other professionals do (doctors, IT profs). I dont see great camaraderie between law firm lawyers who seem to compete all the time (also perpetuated by the firm overlords to maintain status quo).
Just in case, if one odd NLSIU graduate begins to bald, they can always get the unique herb that grows only in the forests of Nagarbhavi, apply it to their balding pate and get their hair to grow back.
All ba(l)d things happen only to non-NLSIU graduates.
