Sat Sri Akal,

I think the problem begins when the girls are young. Their parents need to teach young Sikh girls that the western society idea of beauty or dating is wrong. Most of these Sikh girls who cut their hair or marry non-Sikhs think that turbans are old-fashioned because that is what society has taught them.

When it comes to parents forcing, first, I think the parents should have raised her more properly, then this would not have been a problem. Secondly, if this does come up, then I don't personally believe in forcing someone to do anything. You can force someone to go to the Gurdwara, you can force someone to do nitnem everyday, but you can't force someone to truly love Waheguru. In a situation like this you have talk to her about it and discuss the full repercusions (like later in life, children, etc.).

Gur Fateh,
HSD
