How to sign “Hairs” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Hairs” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Raise your dominant hand beside your head, forming a loose open hand with the fingers slightly curved.
- Bring the hand up to the side of your head, near the top where the hair sits.
- Brush the hand downward along the side of your head, as if smoothing a lock of hair.
- Keep the palm facing inward toward your head through the whole downward stroke.
- Keep your expression neutral, and let the motion stay close to the head instead of floating out wide.
Practice tip
Plural of “Hair” — sign the base sign (often repeated) for more than one.
Fingerspell “Hairs”
Letter by letter — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
