Ha, it happened!!!

But realistically speaking NO ONE is ashamed of their dhari....I certainly am not!!!

But I'm sure there are circumstances when the dhari is required to be tied...e.g. if you are a chef or if a free flowing dhari is dangerous (e.g. operating heavy duty machinery). I would rather have it tied under those conditions then leave it open and flowing and liable to damage from machinery or such. Also, if you were a decorator or mechanic, you would rather have it neatly tired up rather the flowing and getting dirty and grease into the dhari....

Common sense applies...people growing their dhari are NEVER ashamed of it....

Do you have a dhari? If not, let people do what they want with it and don't assume things.

Gurfateh !

Here is a simple method that doesn't use 'Fixo'( Simco Hair Fixer) or gel - but if you wanted to you can use gel. If you don't want the 'stuck to your face' look , don't use the 'Thaati / Thaata'

Experiment to see what suits you - people use all sorts of stuff hairspray, gels, brylcreem etc

I 've even heard of some US guy who used that clear stationery glue because they ran out of 'Fixo'

It's up to you - I don't like 'fixo' it has a funny smell and flakes - use what works for you.

BUT as someone has mentioned don't tie the rubber band or the beard too tight - you won't be able to open your mouth and you will damage your beard - it will fall out in clumps.

Open flowing beard is always best - but like I said do what suits you and your situation.

anyway here some pictures of Dr Jasprit Singh of Ann Arbor, Michigan

The rubber band method will work if you don't have a very heavy beard - My Dad uses a plaited string (Rasi) to tie his beard - military style. The String is placed under the chin at the start of the neck and tied at the top of the head - then using a silai the beard is tucked over the string.

With this method again you can use gel or fixo - but it can take a while to get used to having that string around your chin !

Here is an illustration

Hope that helps

In reply to 'B4ND4' Bhai Sahib's post - those type of beards are 'allowed' - in fact some argue they are to be encouraged as they are a manifestation of 'Kshatria' warrior traditions - Curled 'Koondian' Mucchan/ Moustache and Fanned out beard are all Warrior traditions - traditions bestowed on the Khalsa by Dashmesh Pita Ji.

Here is a picture from around 1983/4 of Baba Santa Singh Ji - Sultan-e -Quam, with a 'fanned out' beard in Rajput / Kshatri style

Enjoy !

    • 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.
