Measure Up: Wig Measurements for a Perfect Fit

Are you searching for the perfect wig? If so, wig measurements are crucial. Just as with any clothing, understanding your body measurements ensures a comfortable and flattering fit.

Cap Size

The cap size is one of the most important wig measurements to consider. This measurement determines the circumference of your head, from the nape of your neck to the front of your forehead. Here are some common cap sizes:

Cap Size	Head Circumference
Petite	20.5" - 21.5"
Average	21.5" - 22.5"
Large	22.5" - 23.5"

Benefit: A properly-fitting cap will prevent the wig from slipping or shifting, ensuring a secure and comfortable wear.

How to: Measure your head circumference using a flexible tape measure. Wrap the tape around your head, starting at the nape of your neck and bringing it around to the front of your forehead.

Front to Back Length

The front to back length measures the distance from the hairline at the front of your forehead to the nape of your neck. This measurement determines the overall length of the wig.

Length	Average Measurement
Short	10" - 12"
Medium	14" - 16"
Long	18" - 20" or more

Benefit: Choosing the right length will complement your facial features and personal style.

How to: Stand up straight and measure from the center of your forehead to the nape of your neck.

Ear to Ear Length

The ear to ear length is measured across the top of your head from one earlobe to the other, passing over the crown.

Length	Average Measurement
Narrow	11" - 12"
Average	12" - 13"
Wide	13" - 14" or more

Benefit: This measurement ensures that the wig will fit snugly across the top of your head, preventing it from being too tight or too loose.

How to: Bend down and place a flexible tape measure over the crown of your head, measuring from one earlobe to the other.
