Three Simple Measurements

For the most accurate fit, you'll need a soft fabric measuring tape. Take your time with each measurement and record the numbers. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort.

Step 1

Measure your Circumference

Place the measuring tape around your head at the hairline, approximately 1/4 inch above your eyebrows and ears. Bring the tape measure around the back of your head at the base of your skull.

The tape should be snug but not tight. This measurement determines your cap size and is the most important measurement for proper wig fit.

Pro tip: Keep the measuring tape parallel to the floor for the most accurate reading.

Step 2

Front to Nape Measurement

Start at your natural hairline in the center of your forehead. Bring the measuring tape straight back over the crown of your head to the nape of your neck, where your hairline ends.

This measurement helps ensure proper coverage from front to back and determines how the wig will sit on your head.

Important: Make sure to follow the natural curve of your head rather than pulling the tape tight across the top.

Step 3

Ear to Ear Over Top

Begin at the top of one ear where your head begins to curve. Bring the measuring tape up over the crown of your head to the same point on the opposite ear.

This measurement ensures proper width coverage and helps determine the placement of the wig's ear tabs for a secure, natural-looking fit.

Note: Record all three measurements and refer to our size chart when selecting your wig. If you have questions about sizing, our customer service team is here to help.
