Measuring Your Head for a Lace Wig |
Before Measuring (Download you free fitting and measuring chart)
» Be sure to style your hair in the same way as you will wear it under the lace wig.
» If you plan to wear your hair in cornrows underneath the wig, you must take your measurements with your hair braided in cornrows.
» Make sure your hair is as flat as possible.
You will need a non-elastic cloth or plastic measuring tape to take your measurements in inches.
» Do not pull the tape too tight, but it should be a snug fit. We recommend measuring at least 3 times to assure accuracy, as your wig will be constructed based only on the measurements you provide.
» We also recommend that you add approximately 1/4 inch more than your actual measurement. Measuring beyond your hairline ensures that when glued, your wig will adhere to your skin and not directly on your hairline.
PLEASE FOLLOW PICTURES AS A GUIDELINE WHEN MEASURING.

How to Measure
1. Circumference of the Head:
This is the only measurement needed when ordering a stock wig. Measure around the hairline of the entire head. Position the tape measure so its edge follows the hairline around the head and nape of the neck. (Average measurement is 22" to 22 1/2 inches).
2. Front to Nape:
Measure 1/4 inch beyond the front hairline and go over the top of the head to 1/4 inch past the hairline at the nape of the neck. This measurement provides a comfortable front to back fit. (Average measurement is 14 to 15.5 inches)
3. Ear to Ear – across forehead:
Measure from the front of the ear at hairline at the base of sideburn, up across the hair line along forehead to same point in front of opposite ear. (Average measurement is 11 1/2 to 12 inches).
4. Ear to Ear - over the top of head: Measure from hairline directly above the ear across top of head to the hairline directly above the other ear. (Average measurement is 11 1/2 to 12 inches ).
5. Temple to Temple:
From temple to temple across the back of head. (Average measurement is 14 to 15 inches).
6. Nape of Neck: Measure the width of hairline across the nape of the neck. (Average measurement is 5 to 6 inches). |
