“Hafit Challenge” Sweeps Social Media in Saudi Arabia
Content:
A new challenge has swept social media platforms in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under the hashtag “#تحدي_حفيت” (#HafitChallenge), where participants film themselves using sharp tools to completely shave their heads. This challenge has gained significant popularity, especially among Saudi youth, with many celebrities and social media activists participating.
The “Hafit” challenge began spreading in Saudi Arabia approximately a week ago, when a number of Saudi youth started posting videos of themselves using razor blades or other sharp tools to completely shave their heads. The challenge quickly gained popularity, particularly on the “TikTok” platform, where thousands of Saudis and Saudi women posted videos of themselves participating in the challenge.
Several Saudi celebrities and activists have participated in the challenge, posting videos of themselves completely shaving their heads. Among the most prominent participants was Saudi fashion influencer Model Roz, who posted a video that received millions of views.
The challenge received significant interaction from Saudis, with many expressing their admiration for it and participating, while others criticized it as a dangerous challenge that could cause physical harm to participants.
In this context, Dr. Fahd Al-Asimi, Professor of Sociology at King Saud University, said: “The Hafit challenge is the latest trend among social media platform challenges sweeping the world, and it reflects young people’s desire to attract attention and break routine, but at the same time it carries health and psychological risks.”
Al-Asimi added: “Parents and schools should educate youth about the dangers of such challenges and the necessity of not being drawn into them without thinking about the consequences.”
Dr. Khaled Al-Amri, a dermatology consultant, said: “Using sharp tools to shave hair may cause wounds and scratches on the scalp, and may also lead to serious skin inflammations if the tools are not properly sterilized.”
Al-Amri added: “I advise young people not to participate in such dangerous challenges and to seek safe and healthy entertainment alternatives.”
Conclusion:
It appears that the “Hafit” challenge will continue to spread in the coming period, especially with the participation of a large number of celebrities and activists. However, youth should exercise caution and not be drawn into such dangerous challenges without thinking about the health and psychological consequences. Parents and schools must also play a role in educating youth about the dangers of such challenges and the necessity of seeking safe and healthy entertainment alternatives.
