Furthermore, Harjanto Halim, said that faith is like our hair, cut and pressed like anything until bald patches will definitely grow again. But according to Harjanto, building empathy and solidarity is important.
For this reason, Harjanto appealed and invited Semarang socialite women to dare to go bald. Women who are tough, strong and sincere come to The Park Mall to Dare to Be Bald.
"This time I want to invite women, mothers, sis-cici-cici to experience spiritualism, sincerity in letting go of the attachment to hair as a woman"s crown. "For the first 10 women who want to shave their hair, I will donate IDR 1 million each in their names as a donation to YKAKI," said Harjanto.
