How to Sign "Hair" in American Sign Language (ASL)

Take your dominant hand with spread fingers and brush down the side of your head to sign "hair" in ASL. The movement is just like when you run your fingers through your hair, showing how natural and simple this sign really is to remember and use in daily conversations. Make shorter movements close to your head for short hair, or longer downward movements for long hair. You can add other signs to show hair color or style. The "hair" sign comes up often when people talk about how they look.
