We keep Kesh (hair) because the Guru instructed us to do so.
Kesh are also a marker of Sikh identity that identify to the world who is a Sikh. Sikhs walk the earth announcing proudly their religion while others give no sign of their convictions. In addition, hair and nails are totally different. Having long nails inhibits use of the hand. Long hair is even a reflection of good health, it is also not an impediment to daily life. Isn't it a slap in the face of those people who shave, when a day later the hair returns? Do they not think that maybe it is how God intended!
Kesh ( hair ) are Guru Ki Mohar ( Stamp).
The Kesh is the Stamp of your Guru, look around even till this day, no other religion insists on Kesh specifically to both sexes and yet every prophet had long hair - Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Mohammed, even Sri Ram Chandra Ji and Bhagwan Krishan Ji in old texts are depicted with long hair.
It is a unique, royal, elegant sign of power and divine. All most all the portraits of Imaginary GOD in the east and in the West always have hair on the head and a beard. Do you ever think why that is? It is because subconsciously throughout the world it is recognised that hair on the head and beard in man resemble something divine, kind, loving, rich and powerful.
You can do a little test your self, take two pictures of same age man dressed in western cloths with similar body language and facial expression, one having short hair and clean shaven and other having long hair and full beard, they do not need to have a turban, then ask anybody at random to point out who looks more religious. Regardless of the persons background I am sure they will pick the person with long hair and beard.
Think for yourself why in 2006 somebody will think that long hair and beard represent something religious and divine.
I give you another example from the world around you, go to any local library and go to the children's section, pick any children's book and look for stories of a princess, all most all the photos of a princess will be with long hair, now ask your self why that is? Subconsciously human beings know the value of long hair, it is just the incredible high level of wisdom of Guru Sahib Ji that he made these simple but fantastic things an integral part of the Khalsa.
It is that reason that Guru Gobind Singh Ji made his choice to simply give the divine, kind, loving, rich, elegant yet powerful image to his Khalsa.
In gurbani it is stated that God also has long hair.
Raag Wadahans, First Mehl:
Your eyes are so beautiful, and Your teeth are delightful.
Your nose is so graceful, and Your hair is so long.
Your body is so precious, cast in gold.
His body is cast in gold, and He wears Krishna's mala; meditate on Him, O sisters.
You shall not have to stand at Death's door, O sisters, if you listen to these teachings.
From a crane, you shall be transformed into a swan, and the filth of your mind shall be removed.

Why do not you bleed when your nails and hair are cut. Please answer it fast waiting for the results?
Nails and hairs do not have a network of blood vessels. They are mere accumulation of a protein called keratin. These proteins are neither associated with the circulatory system nor with the nervous system. Hence, we neither feel pain nor does it bleed when our nails and hair are cut.
WHY DO YOU FEEL PAIN WHEN YOU PULL ON YOUR HAIR AND NAILS BUT NOT WHEN YOU CUT THEM'?
Because there are no nerves in your hair or nails. When you pull on them you are making the hair pull on your scalp, which contains nerves and can thus cause pain. Cutting your hair doesn't touch any nerves, so it doesn't hurt.
