Sikhs wear the turbans as a religious practice. They don't usually cut their hair hence they have long beards and wear the kind of turban called a 'pagri' to protect their hair from dust and to cover them up so they wont flash on their face while working.

Over time, it evolved into a mandatory article of faith for initiated Sikhs (Khalsas), representing their values and beliefs.
