Guide to Measuring Your Perfect Wig Fit

 

Please Note: Wig sizing can vary depending on your head shape and how much natural hair you have. Two people with the same head circumference may still experience a different fit.

For the most accurate measurements, make sure your hair is prepped exactly how it will be when applying your lace wig—whether that’s braided, pinned up, or lying flat.

Always use a soft measuring tape and take each measurement at least three times to ensure precision. The measuring tape should be placed just outside your hairline, as lace wigs are designed to sit slightly beyond your natural hairline.

Measurement Guide

1. Circumference

Wrap the measuring tape around your head, starting at your hairline in the front. It should pass behind your ears, around the nape of your neck, and meet back at the starting point.

• Additional sizes not listed in the chart:

• XS: 19-20.5” circumference

• XL: 23-24” circumference

2. Front to Nape

Begin about ½ inch in front of your hairline and extend the tape over the crown of your head to the nape of your neck.

3. Ear to Ear (Across Forehead)

Position the tape at your sideburn, just in front of your ear, and measure across your forehead to the sideburn on the opposite side.

4. Ear to Ear (Over the Top of Head)

Start at your hairline above one ear, measure across the top of your head, and end at the hairline above your other ear.

5. Temple to Temple (Around the Back of Head)

Place the measuring tape at one temple, wrap it around the back of your head, and bring it to the opposite temple.

6. Nape of Neck

Measure the width of your hairline at the nape of your neck.
