[QUOTE="GodsDust, post: 133307, member: 13160"] Shri Guru Gobind Singh create a Sikh as a warrior person who can fight against injustice and evil. Hair has following significance, that is why it is included in sikh's 5 K. 1. Hair are smalls keratin filaments. When you put together thousands of these filaments together, it gives enormous strength. So keep hair used to help the sikhs during war time. Beard hair used to protect neck from sword attack. Head hair used to give natual helmet. 2. One of the reason was to give unique identity to a sikh. 3. It makes a women more beautiful and a man more macho. 4. Human hair may not compete with the painful spines of the porcupine, but much of the hair on the human body is suited to protect it. This natural armor cannot directly protect humans from potential predators, but it does help to keep the sense organs, like the eyes, working properly. 5. Hair also provide protection from cold. Why not nail? 1. Keeping nail would not have given any benifits during wars. On the contrary having long nails is a hindrance to the body. An individual with long nails cannot functions and do everyday chores comfortably. 2. Sikh only cuts dead part of the nail not the alive pink/red part called nail plate. Cutting dead part of the nail and retailing pink nail plate can be analogous to combing and removing dead hair and dandruff while retaining live hair. 3. Hair protects us against the harmful Ultra Violet radiations and skin cancer while the dead part of the nails do not seem to provide a similar functionality. 4. Our body do not treat Keratin of hair as waste product as it restricts its growth and nourishes it. Whereas, for our body keratin in nail is like waste product. And hence it does not nourishes nail, and even it does not restrict it lenght. 5. Hair grows from the most actively dividing layer of the skin (stratum germinativum), the gray part of nails is only modifications of the upper dead layer (stratum corneum). Hair follicle bulges out forming an inverted cup, which receives blood capillaries for nourishment and nerve fibers to make the hair sensitive. Sebaceous gland lubricate hair follicle by its secretion. A muscle is also attached to the base of every hair for bringing about movement. Pigments are added to the shaft of the hair as it grows. None of these features is associated with the dead part of nails. [/QUOTE]
