I had initially thought my hair was BSL (back shoulder length), until i found out that BSL stands for bra strap length! I have just joined this forum, so the lingo is kind of hard for me to pick up. In the profile information it has all sorts of stuff like 2a, ii, and those WL BSL abbreviations I cannot understand. Could anyone please clarify this for me as a newbie? Thank you bunches!

I know some hair lengths: pixie, ear, chin, neck, shoulder (SL), upper back length (UBL), armpit length (APL), brastrap length (BSL), waist length (WL), hip length (HL), tailbone length (TBL/TB), classic length (CL), thigh, knee, calf, ankle, floor.. :D

Don't worry, I was confused too, for a while. But after a while, you start using these terms with people in your daily life and they're like "Huh???". :D
