When it comes to wigs, finding the right fit is paramount. Our wig measurement guide has been meticulously crafted to ensure you make an informed choice that complements your unique features.

Head Circumference Measurement

To measure your head circumference, use a flexible measuring tape or string. Wrap it around the widest part of your head, just above your eyebrows and ears. The average head circumference for women is 22.5 inches, while for men it's 22.7 inches.

Circumference (inches)	Cap Size
21-22	Petite
22-23	Average
23-24	Large
24+	Extra Large

Front to Nape Measurement

Place one end of the measuring tape at the center of your forehead and run it straight back to the nape of your neck. This measurement determines the length of the wig from the front to the back.

Length (inches)	Cap Depth
10-12	Short
12-14	Average
14-16	Long
16+	Extra Long

Ear to Ear Measurement

Measure from the top of one ear, over the top of your head, to the top of the other ear. This measurement ensures the wig fits comfortably across your forehead and behind your ears.

Width (inches)	Ear-to-Ear Cap
12-13	Narrow
13-14	Average
14-15	Wide
15+	Extra Wide
