Struggling with body hair as a Sikh girl (throwaway accoutn)

Question

I’m a Sikh girl and I’ve always cut my hair, done my eyebrows, waxed, etc. Lately I’ve been learning more about Sikhi, and I know one of the big things is keeping kes

I haven’t cut my head hair in a while, and I honestly don’t really mind keeping the hair on my head, but when it comes to body hair that’s a lot scarier for me. I don’t really see myself being okay with keeping all of it, especially facial/body hair.

I’m not amritshak yet. I want to take amrit one day but i feel like this is going to be a big obstacle for me. anyone with any advice on what to do? i really do want to take amrit but i know the facial hair holding me back big time
