How to Measure Your Head

Every wig we make is made to measure, so an accurate head measurement helps us get your fit just right. It only takes a minute.

What you'll need

  • A soft, flexible tape measure (the kind used for sewing)
  • A mirror, or someone to help you

No tape measure? Use a piece of string or ribbon, mark where it meets, then measure it against a ruler.

How to measure

  1. Prepare your hair. Wear your hair as flat as possible, the way you would under a wig.
  2. Start at the front. Place the end of the tape at the centre of your front hairline.
  3. Go around the side. Bring the tape around the side of your head, just above your ear.
  4. Go around the back. Take it around the back of your head, at the nape of your neck where your hair ends.
  5. Come back to the start. Bring it around the other side, above your ear, back to where you started.
  6. Read the measurement. The tape should sit snugly without being tight. Note the measurement in centimetres.

Top tips

  • Measure twice to make sure you get the same number.
  • If you're between measurements, give us the larger one.
  • Not sure? Get in touch and we'll be happy to help.
