How to Measure for Custom Wig
|
When measuring, DO NOT pull tape measure - pulling stretches the tape measure will give you an incorrect size. The average measurements for wig caps.
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 measures 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 When entering measurements for a custom wig please enter them in the order you measured I.E.
