It symbolizes equality. In olden times only rulers used to wear a turban ( a crown ). Guru Sahib emphasized that all humans are equal and he gave birth to an egalitarian society. He asked all men to wear a turban. Many Sikh women also wear a turban as it is a sign of equality for all humans.

The Turban is more than a symbolic of identity. It’s more relevant to the Kesh (unshaven hair) which is submission to the natural form as intended by the primal GOD Waheguru. Surrendering to this will is practicing devotion in the sense of remaining as the natural command (Hukam) intended. This is the same command which created the universe and everything in it now, before and forever after.
This will can only be adhered to, even through the depths of it are beyond human consciousness and comprehension, thus, by proactively surrendering oneself to it, they become humble in the essence of giving up their will, for that of an unknown greater and limitless creator: By the Will of God all forms come into being. The working of that Will cannot be described.
The cosmic laws of the universe are the true religion for all things and a human can observe their own journey by accepting this will through earthly practice which can itself transcend them in to a spiritual kingdom.
If one was to accept that the same arthma (eternal soul) resided in each Guru ji’s body, they they must also accept that solidifying the Kesh by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj as a matter of the Khalsa panth is no different to the immortal message of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj.
