Summary of Question:	Bleaching Facial Hair
Category:	General Sikhism
Date Posted:	Tuesday, 11/20/2001 8:08 PM MST

I have a question regarding bleaching facial hair. I read couple of discussions about bleaching facial hair. One of the discussion says that its ok to bleach facial hair atleast you are not removing them and second one says that its bleaching facial hair would be that you are telling God that he is wrong. I am still confused that is it wrong or right to bleach facial hair. I don't think that bleaching facial hair would be telling God that he is wrong. It depend on the person that how much facial hair she have on her face. I am planning to become Gursikh because my husband is Gursikh but he never forced me that I get baptised. But the main problem is facial hairs. I know that we can't take it off but is that ok to bleach them?? Please answer to this question.

Sat Siri Akaal. You are who you are. God made you as you are. Bleaching facial or any other hair is indeed 'altering' the body God gave you and so contradicts the Rehit of baptized Sikhs.
Being Sikh takes courage. Act like the hairs are not their and carry yourself royally as a Princess of the Guru!
