How to Measure a Wig: A Comprehensive Guide to Finding Your Perfect Fit

Are you looking for a wig that fits perfectly and enhances your natural beauty? Look no further! Our comprehensive guide to measuring wig will provide you with all the information you need to find the ideal wig for your head size and shape.

Why Measure Wig Matters

Before you make a wig purchase, it's essential to measure wig accurately to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. An ill-fitting wig can slip, slide, or cause discomfort, ruining your overall experience. According to the American Hair Loss Association, over 80% of wig-wearers experience fitting issues due to improper measurements.

Effective Strategies for Measuring Wig

1. Head Circumference:

To determine your head circumference, use a flexible measuring tape to measure around the widest part of your head, just above your ears and eyebrows. Write down the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Measurement	Inch	Centimeter
Extra Small	20-21	51-53
Small	21-22	53-56
Medium	22-23	56-58
Large	23-24	58-61
Extra Large	24+	61+

2. Ear to Ear:

Place the measuring tape just above one ear and extend it across the top of your head to the other ear. Record the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Measurement	Inch	Centimeter
Extra Small	11-12	28-30
Small	12-13	30-33
Medium	13-14	33-36
Large	14-15	36-38
Extra Large	15+	38+

3. Front to Nape:

Measure from the center of your forehead, along the hairline, to the nape of your neck. This measurement determines the length of the wig from front to back.

Measurement	Inch	Centimeter
Extra Short	10-12	25-30
Short	12-14	30-36
Medium	14-16	36-41
Long	16-18	41-46
Extra Long	18+	46+

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using a non-flexible measuring tape

Measuring over hair

Not taking measurements in the correct order

Rounding measurements to the nearest inch or centimeter
