ELI5: I'm trying to be as racially sensitive as possible, but for Sikh gentlemen, why do the younger boys wear the smaller turbans and when you get older you wear the one that covers all your hair? Is there some kind of promotion ritual or something?

I know people grow hair longer as they get older obviously as well, could that also be the reason?

no. no ritual or anything, not anymore. Although there was a ceremony type of thing back in the day most sikh men just today start wearing a turban because to us when a grown man wears a patka(smaller head covering you were talking about) it looks bad, wearing a turban with a beard looks good and there is a sense of pride for us to wear a turban. The turban for sikhs represents sovereignty and reminds us about how our previous generations fought for equality against oppressors.
