How to take wig measurements 

** Please note it is not necessary to measure your head to

purchase a lace wig. We also have average sizes

available in small, medium, large & extra large.

Customized measurements are for clients who have

problems in the past with wearing general caps sizes

& are looking for a different fit that is not available with

stock sizes. Please note that our general cap sizes

work for about 95% of our clients & are highly recommended.

** We are able to provide you with custom

made lace front wigs that are customized for you.

Below you will find a diagram that has the measurements

needed to construct you a custom cap. *Wig Size Info*

To determine your correct wig size: Flatten your hair

Use a cloth tape measure for measuring Take the

Measurement three times to be sure. When measuring,

DO NOT pull tape measure - pulling stretches

the tape measure will give you an incorrect size.

1) HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE This measures the distance

around your head. Starting at the center of the front hairline,

place the tape flat against your head, going just above

the ear towards the back of the head, keeping the tape

at the nape of your neck and go around to the opposite

side of your head, just above the opposite ear and

returning to the center of the front hairline.

2) FRONT TO NAPE OF NECK This measures the

length of your head from the front to the nape of your

neck. To determine where the nape of your neck is, tilt

your head back and look up. Where your neck bends

and may even develop a skin fold, is where your

nape is. You want the bottom of the wig to sit right

above this area so that when you do tilt your head

back that far, your wig will not shift on your head.

This area is often right at the occipital bone, but be

sure to take the measurement with your neck bent down

so that you are looking at your shoes. Starting at the front

hairline, measure directly across the middle top of your head to the area that you have determined is your nape.

3) EAR TO EAR - ACROSS THE FOREHEAD

This measurement measures the width of your forehead.

Place tape at the point on your hairline next to your ear.

And measure across the forehead to the opposite side

stopping at the hairline near your ear.

4) EAR TO EAR - Over the Top This measurement measures

the width of the center of your head. Place tape at

the point on your hairline next to your ear. And measure

across the crown of head to the opposite side stopping

at the hairline near your ear.

5) TEMPLE TO TEMPLE - ACROSS THE BACK OF HEAD

This measure the width of the back of your head.

Place tape at the temples on your hairline and

then measure across the middle back of the

head to the opposite side temple, stopping

at the hairline.

6) NAPE OF NECK

This measures the width of your neck.

Place tape at the lowest point on the your

hairline and measure across the neck to the opposite side
