LHC Slang

[AshNight1214]

Hey there. I'm relatively new and I'm just curious about the LHC slang. I get some of it (like CO and BSL) but there's an awful lot of acronym-age happening here that I don't get. Sorry if there's another post on this - I couldn't find a thing!

Here's what I've heard and what I think/know they mean:
BSL: Bra strap length
ASL: ???
CO: Conditioner only
CWC: Condition, wash, condition
Classic: Butt length?
Fairytale: Anything longer than classic or tapered ends?

Anything else you've heard and want to start a kind of dictionary of?

Theres a link to the abbreviations in the stickied VIT links on the top of this forum.

ETA: I've never heard of ASL, perhaps you're thinking of APL (arm pit length)?

I've not heard of ASL either (other than American Sign Language), another possibility is ALS: ammonium lauryl sulfate.

But yeah, check that abbreviations article for the more common ones.

Welcome!

I've noticed that sometimes CO means coconut oil. So you need to pay attention to the context...

Enjoy LHC!

Incidentally, ASL is sometimes used as a first 'get to know you' question in chat rooms; short for age, sex, location. I've never heard it used here though.
