A Sikh does not cut the hair of his or her children. Hair carries radiant energy which helps one to meditate and be mentally centered. The sikhs wear the hair tied in a bun at the tenth gate (at the top of the head). The hair is covered in a Turban for practicality reasons to keep it contained and clean. The hair is to be combed every day. "SUBH TAE WADDA SATGURU NANAK JINN KAL RAKHI MAERI" i.e. of all the Gurus, Satguru Nanak Devji is the Supreme Who guides me through the Dark Age. "JEHDAE DHARRI NA MUCHH, OH DO JAHANAH DA LUCH"
