Wig Cap Size
Measuring your head for a wig cap is a crucial step to ensure a comfortable and secure fit for your wig. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to measure your head:
What You'll Need:
- A flexible measuring tape
- A mirror (optional)
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Gather Your Hair:
- If you have long hair, secure it flat against your head with a hair tie or wig cap. This ensures that your hair does not affect the measurements.
2. Place the Measuring Tape:
- Start by placing the measuring tape around your head, positioning it about half an inch (1.27 cm) above your eyebrows and ears.
3. Find the Natural Hairline:
- Locate your natural hairline. The tape should sit where your natural hairline is or where you would like your wig to start.
4. Wrap Around the Head:
- Wrap the measuring tape around your head, keeping it parallel to the ground. Make sure it sits snugly but not too tight. The tape should be just above the tops of your ears.
5. Measure the Circumference:
- Take note of the measurement where the tape meets, forming a complete circle around your head. Record the circumference in inches or centimeters.
6. Check the Measurement:
- Ensure that the measuring tape is not too loose or too tight. It should provide a snug yet comfortable fit around your head.
7. Repeat for Accuracy:
- For accuracy, measure your head a few times to ensure consistent results. If possible, ask someone for assistance to get a more precise measurement.
Tips:
- If your measurement falls between sizes, round up to the nearest size for a more comfortable fit.
- If you plan to wear the wig with your natural hair, consider the volume of your hair when measuring.
Once you have your head measurements, you can use them as a reference when selecting the appropriate wig cap size.
