This question is frequently asked, "Why do you keep hair?" Hair is a gift from God, therefore why should anyone give it away by cutting it? Hair is one of the five articles of faith for Sikhs. Sikhs live the way God made humans and never cut their hair. For Sikhs hair is the symbol of love for God and the respect for everything He has given us. The way God made us is the most beautiful of all.

Just by keeping hair one cannot become One with God. To become One with God, one must do good deeds, meditate on God, to grow in spirituality, and make a connection with God. Hair are a part of Sikh identity which keeps a Sikh focused on his or her objective to be One with God. When a Sikh looks at his unshorn hair he/she is constantly reminded of their beliefs and the desire to be One with God. Hair is a part of Sikh lifestyle which helps Sikhs to be focused and grow in spirituality.
