Keeping kesh is a commitment that one makes when one takes Amrit. If you have not taken Amrit yet, whether or not you keep your hair is between you and your Guru.
A Sikh is one who relates to the Siri Guru Granth Sahib as a Guru and practices what the Guru teaches. This is a life-long process.
None of us start at the finish line. So - if your take the Words of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib as your Guru and Guide in life and do your best to live those words unto infinity, to make them a practical reality - that is what is required for being a Sikh.
When your soul is ready to take Amrit and keep your hair, it will tell you.
Until then, mediate on the words of the Guru, take them into your heart and live them to the best of your ability. In this way, you shall be a true Sikh of the Guru.
I know that many people out there will disagree with this. I understand it.
But I just have to believe that, in the time of the Gurus, there were many people who benefited from the Gurus' teachings, and eventually made the full commitment -
but that the Gurus were patient with them.
If this was true then, it is true now. One day, as per the instructions of the Guru, you will keep your hair.
But you have to be ready to do it and to give you the strength to make that choice, have the Siri Guru Granth Sahib as your Guide and meditate on those Words.
It will answer every question and solve every problem.
