Greetings and blessings to you in the Name of God and Guru.

Yes. all the Guru's kept their kesh, thay all kept their hair uncut. In fact, all the Hindu's and Indian Muslims kept their hair. It was a normal state of being.

Being clean shaven and having short hair came with the foreign influence of the invading Afghani Muslims and of the invading British. The Muslims cut the hair and beards of their conquered, to insult them and humiliate them in society. The British had no concept of the social importance of uncut hair.

Good question. SKKK
