Steps for Measuring Your Head for the Right Wig - Head Measurements of Wigs

There are 3 general sizes of wigs, small, average, and large, but you can also get a wig customized to your head if you can’t find a good fit from an off-the-rack wig.

• 1. Tie Your Hair: For the most accurate measurement, ensure your hair is flat against your head. If you have long hair, it's best to tie it in a low ponytail or flat against your scalp using bobby pins.

• 2. Measure Your Head Circumference: Start by placing the measuring tape at the center of your forehead, just above your eyebrows. Wrap the tape around your head, keeping it level and snug, but not too tight. Ensure the tape is positioned just above your ears and around the back of your head, at the widest point. Write down the measurement in inches or centimeters.

• 3. Measure the Front-to-Back Length: Position the measuring tape or string at the center of your forehead, just above your hairline. Gently bring it straight back to the base of your skull, following the natural curve of your head. Note down the measurement.

• 4. Measure Your Ear to Ear Across Forehead: Place the measuring tape at the top of one ear and run it across your forehead to the top of the opposite ear. Ensure the tape is flat against your scalp and not pulling tightly. This measurement will determine the width of the wig needed to cover your forehead.

• 5. Measure Your Ear to Ear Over the Top: Position the measuring tape at the top of one ear and run it over the crown of your head to the top of the opposite ear. Make sure the tape is flat and not too tight. This measurement will determine the width of the wig needed to cover the top of your head.

• 6. Measure Your Temple to Temple Around the Back: Start at one temple, wrap the measuring tape behind your head at the base of your skull, and bring it back up to the other temple. This measurement will determine the width of the wig needed to cover the back of your head.

• 7. Additional Measurements (if applicable): Certain wig styles, such as full lace wigs or wigs with adjustable straps, may require additional measurements. These can include the ear-to-ear over the top measurement and the nape of the neck measurement.
