Kesh are hair, Sikhs believe that hair is just not a symbol, it is also a gift from God. Guru Nanak Dev Ji started the practice of keeping the hair unshorn. The keeping of hair in its natural state is regarded as living in harmony with the will of God. It is also a symbol of Khalsa brotherhood and the Sikh faith. Hair is an integral part of the human body created by God and Sikhism call for it's preservation. Sikhs live the way God made humans and never cut their hair. Guru Gobind Singh Ji instructed Sikhs to wear a turban in order to protect their hair. A turban has many purposes and one is to keep a Sikh focused on his/her beliefs.
