Sizing Guide
A good fit makes a wig look more natural and feel more comfortable. Measuring takes a couple of minutes and all you need is a soft tape measure.
How to measure your head
- Prepare your hair. Flatten your hair as close to your head as you can, ideally under a wig cap, so you measure the way you'll wear the wig.
- Circumference. Start at your front hairline, take the tape just above your ear, round the back of your head at the nape of your neck, above the other ear and back to the start. This is the main measurement.
- Front to back. Measure from your front hairline, over the top of your head, to the nape of your neck.
- Ear to ear. Measure from the top of one ear, across your hairline at the front, to the top of the other ear.
No tape measure? Use a piece of string, mark it, then measure the string against a ruler.
