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

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
