It is not known why Sikhs can't wash their hair more than twice a week. Sikhs are also not allowed to cut their hair.

The amount of times we wash our hair is not restricted to religion, in fact it's got NOTHING to do with it (directly). But the fact that we can't cut it somewhat has an impact.

So basically:

We can't cut our hair= Hair will grow very long (unless genetics effects it or something)= Hard to maintain, and it's be unhealthy to wash it everyday= Wash it about twice a week.

This is also completely up to the person, I wash it twice a week as it's not easy to take care of and I don't have the time to put all of the effort into it every day. Not everyone has the same hair length either, mine is very long (it goes to my upper thigh) but I have other Sikh friends whose hair reaches midway of their back, so it's a lot easier to take care it for them but it still isn't easy.

So yeah, it's up to the person but MOST people tend to wash it once or twice a week because long hair is hard to take care, and it is long because we can't cut it.

Sikhs who do not wear a turban are known as what?

Sikhs are generally classified into three groups. This division in not based on their beliefs, practices, or worship.All Sikhs follows same ideas and teachings of their Gurus but the difference is in their Life Style. A Baptized Sikh is called Amrit Dhari Sikh, where Amrit Dhari is who has taken Nectar. A Sikh who keeps his/her hair but is not Baptized is called Kesh Dhari Sikh.(Hair Adopter) A Sikh who cuts hair and shave beard is called Sahaj Dhari Sikhs. (Slow Adopter). Not wearing turbans. They are all Sikhs and hold same views but depending on their devotion they follow their religion. please note, there is one more group which are called Nihang Sikhs, and same things apply here too. Same mode of worship, same idea but difference in life style.


I used the Raw White-Out Bleach Kit today and first bleached my hair and then used the toner but the toner turned my hair a pale yellow and not white how do I get my hair white with this product?

You did somethig wrong , two things you needed to do,#1 wash your hair and wait 24hrs berfore bleaching, #2 wash your hair after you bleach at least twice to get the all the bleach out.your hair should be pale yellow and then apply the toner. you must leave the toner on more than 30min. to get the maximum effect , I leave it on more than 45min. its the toner that makes your hair white ,not the bleach. follow the directions on the box and you cant go wrong .


I have long thin hair It always looks terrible and I cant stand it I cant always get haircuts and when I get my hair cut I cant do much because of my thin hair How do I make it look all right?

Try getting a haircut with a lot of layers. Style it with a blow dryer and volumizing products including mousse and hairspray. Blow dry upside down to get even more lift. This should add a ton of body to your hair.
