I am a Sikh but do not know the answer to this question: Why must Sikhs keep their hair in modern times? What is the point?

Unshorn hair is the visible expression of our faith in God. Guru Gobind Singh ordered us to keep our hair–we obey, as a sign of our faith in his teachings as a path to God. Our kesh (hair) embodies in a concrete way the essence of the Sikh way of life: living the way God made us is a step toward learning to live according to God’s will for us. The fact that long hair makes us stand out binds us together recognizably as a community and challenges us to look inside ourselves for meaning rather than rely on what the world says about us. All of these reasons continue to have meaning today for those who choose to be Sikhs.
