Gurfatehji,

I am keshadhari but I am not amritdhari. I would like to know if we, Sikhs, can straighten our hair. As I know, we cannot cut our hair or dye it. What about straightening it? Is it allowed? If no, please provide a reference or evidence so that I can understand more. Thank you in advance.

We cannot straighten our hair because it is disrespectful to it. We are to treat our hair as a form of the Guru. Straightening is like burning our Guru. Otherwise, washing hair, putting oil on it and combing it are things that are necessary to do. Straightening isn't. If you go to any akj website, you'll find lots of proof for how every Sikh should tie a dastar. Now if we tie a dastar, it doesn't matter how our hair looks. So since straightening hair is disrespectful to it and is not necessary, Sikhs are not allowed to.

to straighten your hair permanently you need to destroy the strength of the protein bonds in it , so this is willfully harming your kesh ...I think Guru ji would not be down with that... however if you are using gels , sprays with hot air for a temporary straightening the hair is not harmed in the same way so I think that would be preferable to the other method however best would be to accept your kesh as is.

He or she could ask because it may hurts to comb curly hair or wavy hair, (family members with curly hair), I think if you respectfully do it, it shouldn't be a problem

"Thou shalt straighten thy hair."

"Thou shalt useth man made devices on thy hair."

"Thou shalt useth their friggin head when it comes to such trivial shiz". JEZUS

wrong religion, but I do like the 3rd line.

Taksal and Nihang Singh (Taksal is actually Nihang Jatha) Maryada is absolutely NO adulteration of Kesh that includes dying hair, perming hair, straightening, plucking, lazer treatment and anything else out there

Infact kesh are very pyareh to Guru Ji

plus you are handicapping your naam japna as it passes through the different stages ...gurmukh rom rom har dhiavey ...you have many lakhs of rom each becomes a jeev which vibrates har nam so your naa, abihaas increases exponentially as you progress...if you damage them then they cannot help you

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
