HOW to MEASURE your HEAD FOR A WIG

Learn the exact measurements needed for ordering your perfect-fitting wig. 

What You'll Need to Measure Your Head :

Soft measuring tape (fabric/sewing tape)

Pen and paper to record measurements

Hair clips or ties to secure your hair flat against your head (if you have hair)

A friend to help (recommended but not required)

Mirror (if measuring yourself)

LET'S START MEASURING

Take each measurement twice to verify.

If you have some hair, flatten it as much as possible for accurate measurements

        STEP 1

how to measure the circumference of your head

Circumference: Place the measuring tape around your head, starting at your hairline in front, going behind your ear,
around the back of your head at the nape of your neck, behind your other ear, and back to your front hairline. This should be about 21-24 inches for most adults.

 STEP 2


Front to Back: Start at your front hairline (center of forehead) and measure back over the crown to where your hair ends

STEP 3   

 

Side to Side across your forehead: Measure from the hairline just above one ear, straight across the front of your forehead, to the hairline just above the other ear

STEP 4   

    • Side to Side Over Top: Measure from the hairline just above one ear, going up and over the very top of your head, to the hairline just above the other ear.

STEP 5 


 Temple to Temple Across the back of your head: Start at your temple (where your hairline begins in front of your ear), go around the back of your head above the nape, and end at the other temple

STEP 6 

 

Measure the width of your hairline across the bottom at the back of your neck.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
