Every Sikh is required to keep his or her hair, They are not supposed to cut or trim them. Though Sikhs have cut their hair depending on their own individual reason. Once you get baptisms, then a Sikh needs to have 5 K's:

* Kesh (uncut hair) * Kanga (wooden comb) * Kaccha (underwear) * Kara (Iron bracelet) * Kirpan (strapped sword). Hope this helps.

There is no specific clothing for Sikhs. Usually, the traditional dress for Sikh men has been European style trouser and shirt whereas Sikh Women put Salwar Kamij. Men and sometimes women also wear turbans.

Though after baptism a Sikh has to follow the 5K's (Punj Kakkar). 5K's: # Kesh - Keeping hair. # Kanga - A small wooden comb to keep hair clean and tidy. # Kaccherra - Shorts to ensure easy movement and comfort. # Kara - A round, metal bracelet which symbolises that God was never born and will never die. # Kirpan - A daggar which symbolises bravery; not to be used to harm anyone.

You don't wear anything to show you are a Sikh. You live by it to show it.

If a Sikh man or woman is Amritdhari (that has taken 'Amrit,' or holy water), they will be recognized by the 5 kakkars that every person blessed with Amrit must have on them. The 5 kakkars are kesh, kachera, kirpan, kanga, and kara.

Many Sikhs, man and woman, also do choose to tie turbans. Again, this has nothing to do with how much of a Sikh, or religious, that person is. However, the turban is very special to Sikhs. Visit sikhism.SikhTruth.com to learn more.

Sikh men and women usually were 'casual' clothing, just like we do. However, every Sikh covers their hair in a turban, which is quite similar to a head scarf. They usually were bright or florescent clothing.

They wear a turban, long piece of cloth wound round head, Kachera, short trousers worn as underwear, and a Kirpan, a sword, reminding them of their duty to fight.

What do Sikh brides wear?

Sikh women don't have any certain restrictions to what they can or cannot wear around the house, or in general. There is not a large difference in attire between the two. Many Sikh women who have more Indian roots may wear a traditional Punjabi suit around the house. As far as head coverings, Sikh women can cover their heads with a chunni (or head scarf) or wear a dastaar (turban). Again, not all Sikh women do this, but it is common and a popular option.
