What to Consider When Measuring for a Wig

Choosing the right wig requires accurate head measurements to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Heres a step-by-step guide to taking precise measurements:

  • Circumference: Measure the circumference of your head around the hairline, keeping the tape measure just above your ears and parallel to the ground.

  • Front to Back: Determine the length from the center of your forehead to the nape of your neck.

  • Ear to Ear: Measure the distance between the tops of your ears, passing over the crown of your head.

  • Temple to Temple: Take the measurement from the temples on one side of your head to the temples on the other side.

Benefits of Accurate Wig Measurements

  • Optimal fit: Ensures the wig stays in place and looks natural.
  • Comfort: Prevents discomfort caused by too-tight or too-loose wigs.
  • Reduces returns: Avoids the hassle of exchanging wigs due to improper fit.

Advantages of Custom-Fit Wigs

  • Personalized fit: Tailored to the exact contours of your head for maximum comfort.
  • Secure hold: Provides a snug and secure fit, eliminating the risk of slippage.
  • Natural appearance: Mimics the look and feel of natural hair.
