Hair Dye

[Guest H_Kaur]

thanks for all your comments. I don't think I want to wear a keski to mask something that I am. Maybe I will just go white and see how things pan out, the underlying cause for it is medication and there isn't much I can do to come off that.

Looking for the yellow brick road....

According tp the Sikh Rehat Matyada; The code of Sikh Conduct and Conventions which is accepted by the Khalsa panth

One who dyes his beard is liable to chastisement involving automatic boycott;this follows for kesh

O so dhari dyin = no. n kes dyin = mayB?

nope:

dhari dying = NO

Kesh dying= NO

there is no difference between the two.

The reason for wearing a keski is not to mask what you are, its to follows Guru Sahibs rehit.

My point is that the choice to wear one shouldn't be made because you want to use it to hide. it should be because you want to follow rehit and Guru's way..... I don't think that religion should be used as an excuse but as a way of life.

Strange that the Rehet Maryada does not mention when hair are still  uncut  :

- No hair fixer

- No tying of beard

-No Hair weaving.

- No hair Gel

 The reason no-dying has been included has nowhere been mentioned. The Dying Hair is no disrespect.

One reason given is that one has to accept the natural state of the body. So why not accept any other disease that develops in the body. In fact white hair early is a sign of lack of melanin - a chemical in the body that keeps hair black.

Sikhi goes along with a householders duties and living. The Sikhi needs the Sikh to refrain from the five passions . Sikh is seva and simran. In the Rehetnama the " No smoking and No liquor " restrictions are easily understandable however the inclusion of "no hair Dying" looks incongruous .

In today's world  when vegetarianism is not encouraged it founds no mention thus the food habits are untouched except No Halal restriction . There is "no jhutha" advise also and understandable as it is undignified as a sikh. The  premature greying of hair is a recognized medical problem caused by many factors like stress, vitamin B12 deficiency, Hypothyroidism, unbalanced diet, . Premature graying  is depigmentation of hair and a  disease . 

So rehetmaryada needs to be re- looked in  so that social self esteem of the Sikh is maintained .

I know some khatri sikhs and maybe afghan sikhs do some mehndi dying thing, I don't think you are supposed to though.

So you guys say that any effort to bring white hair to black is sin?

So if some herbal shampoo say that they can conver premature hai to black then we should not use them as its against sikhi?

In Ayurveda potato skin and other treatments etc can convert white hair to black. Is that also sin?

bhen ji you should see a doctor because it sounds like a shutdown of melanin production which could affect your skin too e.g. phulberi/vitiligo , it's better to eliminate disease processes from the questions . Homeopathy can help with premature whitening but you need to get a consultation to indivualise treatment.
