How to Measure Your Head For a Wig

Getting the right wig that fits you perfectly is crucial if you want to enhance your beauty and confidence. Wigs come in different lengths and sizes, that’s why it can be quite difficult sometimes to get the right size. The key to getting the right fit is by only measuring the size of your head.

How to Measure Your Head For a Wig

If you have ever bought a wig and found that it wasn’t perfectly fitting or it even slipped off your head, then this article is right for you.

In this article, we are going to discuss how you can measure your head for a wig so that you can get the right fit. What’s more, measuring your head is not as difficult as you may think; it will only take a few minutes and those few minutes can make a huge difference in getting the right or wrong wig.

While wig sizes vary depending on the wig manufacturer, this wig measuring guide will give you a perfect baseline, especially if the wig you select has adjustable straps. And fortunately, there is a wig size chart to help you choose the right fit once you have taken your measurements.

How to measure your head for a wig

If you want to determine the right size of wig for your head, you must first understand the basic measurements you need. To get the best fit, you need to measure your head in 6 different ways. These include:

  • Circumference
  • Front hairline to the nape of your neck
  • Ear-to-ear across hairline at the forehead
  • Ear-to-ear over the top of your head
  • Temple-to-temple behind the back of your head
  • Nape of the neck to the back hairline

Of course, all of these measurements will come in handy, especially when looking at the wig size chart. Just like purchasing a clothing item, each measurement represents a different part of the wig you want to buy. And the more accurate these measurements are, the better they will fit your head.

How to measure the circumference of your head

First things first, the first measurement you need to start with is the circumference of your head. This is probably the most common measurement that people are familiar with. Here are some steps to help you measure the circumference of your head:

  • Take your tape measure. Starting at the center of your forehead, pull your tape measure back behind one ear until it reaches the nape of your neck.
  • Pull the tape measure around the nape of your neck over your other ear
  • Bring the ends of the tape measure to meet in the center of your hairline at the forehead
  • Write down your measurement

Measure front to back

Here are steps to help you measure the top of your head:

  • Place the end of the tape measure at your hairline in the middle of your forehead
  • Pull the tape measure directly over the crown of your head, down the back of your head until you reach the nape of your neck at the base of your hairline.
  • Write down the measurement

Measure across the forehead

The next step is to measure across your forehead. This is a crucial step in measuring your head for a wig. Here are steps to help you:

  • Place the end of the tape measure just above one of your ears
  • Pull the tape measure up and across the hairline until it reaches the other ear
  • Write down your measurements

Measure over the top

Here are steps to help you measure over the top of your head:

  • Place the end of the measure just above your ear
  • Place the tape measure up and over the top of your head until it reaches the other ear
  • Write down your measurement

Measure around the back

This is also another crucial measurement, but it is so easy to miss when you are trying to figure out how to measure your head for a wig. Here are steps to help you measure around the back:

  • Place the end of your tape measure at one temple, next to your eyebrow
  • Pull the tape measure straight back and wrap it around the backside of your head until it reaches the other temple.
  • Make sure that the tape measure is not slipping up or down. It should be level.
  • Write down the measurement

Measure the nape of your neck

The final measurement you need to take is for the nape of your neck. This is basically where the base of the wig will land. Here are steps to measuring the nape of your neck:

  • Place end of the tape measure behind one ear, level with the bottom of your ear lobe
  • Pull the tape around the base of your hairline, or the nape, until it reaches below the opposite ear.
  • Write down your measurements
