📏 How to Measure Your Head for Your Wig Size

Finding your correct wig cap size is the key to a comfortable, natural-looking fit. Every head shape is unique, so taking accurate measurements ensures your wig sits securely without being too tight or too loose.

Follow these steps with a flexible measuring tape (cloth tape works best):


✨ Step 1: Circumference

  • Place the tape at the front of your hairline.

  • Wrap it behind your ear, around the nape of your neck, up the other side, and back to the front hairline.

  • This gives you your head circumference.


✨ Step 2: Front to Nape

  • Start at your front hairline (forehead).

  • Run the tape straight back over the crown of your head to the nape of your neck.


✨ Step 3: Ear to Ear (Across Forehead)

  • Place the tape just above one ear.

  • Stretch it across the forehead (front hairline) to the other ear.


✨ Step 4: Ear to Ear (Over the Top)

  • Start at the top edge of one ear.

  • Run the tape over the crown of your head to the top edge of the other ear.


✨ Step 5: Temple to Temple (Around Back)

  • Place tape at one temple (just above the ear).

  • Run it around the back of your head to the opposite temple.


✨ Step 6: Nape of Neck

  • Measure the width across the lowest point of your hairline at the back of your neck.
