How to Measure Your Head
Use a soft measuring tape and follow these 6 key measurements:
- Circumference – Measure around your head, starting at your hairline in front, behind your ears, and around the nape of your neck.
- Front to Nape – Measure from your front hairline straight back over the crown to the nape of your neck.
- Ear to Ear (Across Forehead) – Measure from the front of one ear across your forehead to the front of the other ear.
- Ear to Ear (Over Top) – Measure from the top of one ear over the top of your head to the other ear.
- Temple to Temple (Around Back) – Measure from temple to temple around the back of your head.
- Nape of Neck – Measure the width of your neck at the base where the wig will sit.
