Sat Siri Akaal. Guru Nanak did INDEED start Sikhi, and all 10 physical Gurus covered their heads. You are correct that Nanak did not 'invent' the outer form/identity of Sikhi, but it had been going that direction since his time.
Yes, you will still be the same person inside. Your relationship to Guru is your own. If you don't think the 10th Guru's request that we maintain an outer identity is important, that's your business. As always, be honest with yourself: are you cutting your hair for fashion, because you don't want to be known as Sikh, because girls think they like cut-hair Sikhs, or what? Answer this question of WHY to yourself and then you will know what you should do for yourself. It's not up to me.
