How To Measure Your Head For A Wig.

Today, we’re diving into the simple process of how to measure your head for a wig. Getting the right measurements for your wig doesn’t have to be a complicated affair – just follow our three easy steps! To ensure you’re on track, we’ve provided a detailed image for reference. This guide will help you accurately measure your head so you can find a wig that fits perfectly and feels comfortable. Stick with us, and you’ll be a pro at this in no time!

Step 1

Take a soft tape measure and measure your head from the front of your hairline to just above your ears.


Step 2

Wrap the tape measure around to where your neck bends, under the occipital bone (which is also called the Bone of Knowledge!).


Bring it back round to the front hairline where you started.


If you are measuring on top of your natural hair, we would advise that you ensure it is as flat as possible to give you a more precise measurement.
