A new challenge has swept social media platforms in Saudi Arabia under the hashtag “#تحدي_حفيت” (Challenge of Shaving). 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 taking part.

The “Shaving Challenge” began spreading in Saudi Arabia about a week ago, with some Saudi youths posting videos of themselves using razor blades or other sharp tools to shave their heads completely. The challenge quickly gained traction, particularly on the “TikTok” platform, where thousands of Saudis and Saudi women posted videos participating in the challenge.

Several Saudi celebrities and activists participated in the challenge, posting videos of themselves completely shaving their heads. Among the most prominent participants was Saudi fashionista Model Roz, who posted a video that garnered millions of views.

The challenge received significant interaction from Saudis, with many expressing their admiration for it and participating, while others criticized it, considering it a dangerous challenge that could cause physical harm to participants.

In this context, Dr. Fahd Al-Osaimi, a professor of sociology at King Saud University, said: “The Shaving Challenge is the latest trend in social media challenges sweeping the world, reflecting young people’s desire to attract attention and break routine. However, it also carries health and psychological risks.”

Al-Osaimi added: “Parents and schools should educate youth about the risks of such challenges and the necessity of not being drawn into them without thinking about the consequences.”

Dr. Khalid Al-Amri, a consultant dermatologist, said: “Using sharp tools to shave hair can cause wounds and scratches on the scalp, and may lead to serious skin infections 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 methods.”

Conclusion: It seems that the “Shaving Challenge” will continue to spread in the coming period, especially with the participation of a large number of celebrities and activists. However, youth should be cautious and not be drawn into such dangerous challenges without thinking about the health and psychological consequences. Parents and schools should also play a role in educating youth about the risks of such challenges and the necessity of seeking safe and healthy entertainment methods.
